Opening Argument
The prosecution argues that the recent decision by New York police to investigate sex complaints at Cornell University is a direct consequence of the negligence and incompetence that has plagued the administration, all while being influenced by the shadow of Donald Trump. The prosecution alleges that this decision is not merely a response to public outcry but a desperate attempt to deflect attention from the administration's failures.
Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

In the prosecution's theory, this investigation will lead to a series of events that will ultimately expose the administration's incompetence, resulting in a nationwide scandal.
The Hidden Danger

The prosecutor imagines that the real danger lies in the potential for this to become a political tool used to distract from the administration's failures.
Closing Argument
In this fictional case, the prosecution argues that the investigation is a desperate attempt to save face, and it will ultimately fail to address the underlying issues.
Verdict
