One A high profile, aggressive defense lawyer for unpopular defendants. Clearly a pain in the butt for the Justice Department.

Two: Allegedly transferring political/terrorist messages from her client to his compatriots.

Now, she doesn't speak the language, can't carry a message from her client to his friends, isn't accused of carrying any message from her client to the outside world.

She's accused of distracting (talking to) the guards while the translator conducted a conversation with her client about matters not related to his defense. I can imagine that having a nefarious purpose, and I can imagine her just BSing with the guards while having coffee and resting.

Seems somewhat tenuous at first glance. She couldn't know what the translator and her client were saying, or what the translator would do with it.

There has to be a lot which wasn't divulged, but it doesn't seem to me to be a slam dunk.

If there isn't a lot more, it sounds like a defense lawyer being terrorized by the gov't. And, while she could be guilty of something, it's certainly not "prima facie".
