Where this statement fits

Was Kathy Hochul right to appoint Letitia James as special prosecutor in the Cornell case?

Hochul says an independent investigation is needed after questions about the campus police and local district attorney's handling. John Ziegler denounces the appointment, while Benjamin Ryan questions whether James's earlier public statement compromises her impartiality.
