She built the nest that hatched this plot. President Johnson said it himself.

Reverdy Johnson:
Well, I know this goes hard with you, Freddie, but... but what they're plannin', which is a military trial of civilians, is an atrocity.

Frederick Aiken:

Reverdy Johnson:

Reverdy Johnson:
She's entitled to a defense, Freddie, so I shall defend her.
