Actually, it is a bit relevant in NY, because the AG is an elected position in NY. So she actively campaigned and was voted in as a Democrat. It shouldn't affect how she conducts cases, of course, but I don't think the article implied that it did.

If you really want to have fun, you can turn it into a drinking game where you take a shot every time they take the fifth. For reference, they have already been deposed for this case, and in their depositions, they apparently took the fifth hundreds of times.
