I wish we knew of more trustworthy officials. Apart from her father, who isn’t going to be around for long, I fear, she’s vulnerable. And so is that testament. I don’t suppose she’s be able to gather her own supporters to form a sort of bodyguard. It would look as though she was suspicious of the old guard.
