Regardless of eventual outcome, I think it's probably safe to say that Ortiz's post-Justice department political career is probably done.
I don't see how she could win a democratic primary in Massachusetts anymore--too many other ambitious Dems who'd have field day with this, and Republican opposition will keep her from being appointed to anything requiring confirmation.
It's a lot less than she deserves, but there's some gratification in the thought that the over-aggressive prosecution which was most likely designed to advance her political career will prevent it.
