> she should have spent more time constructing a better case, or not bringing them in the first place.

I disagree.

As to the former, the case is what the case is: obviously everyone would like to construct the strongest possible case.

As to the latter, the joke about career prosecutors only bringing cases they know they can win to pad their record comes to mind. In a regulatory role, IMHO prosecutors should be as aggressive as the law allows them to be, especially against the largest companies. It's difficult to claim that Google can't afford to mount a vigorous defense for itself.
