Hoffinger. Shes one of the most interesting people. You dont see people go from defense back to prosecution. She started as an ada in the manhattan office. Then for 20 years, she did white collar defense, the type of defense that Donald Trump could use right now, and now shes back at the d. A. s office as a chief investigator, and shes on this case. Why does this matter . She knows both sides and understands the tricks both sides can play and as an investigator, she has been able to unearth a lot of dirt. Someone invalue to the prosecutors team.
