If she's ghosted her legal responsibilities it is not because she's got a clean conscience about her work with Ghouliani and Flynn. I suspect someone else connected to the scheme told her to get into the wind because they do not want her testifying about the details and the list of people she was in contact with regarding it.

IMO there ought to be more substantial DOJ concern about her role in this and whom it was she coordinated with.

EDIT: It seems Friess is NOT some random MAGA attorney: http://globalpolicypartnersllc.com/katherine.html
She seems to be someone in the orbit Mike Flynn and others who've hidden from public view.

She's one of several people at the center of the push to spread the big lie and organize the legal grounding of the coup. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/09/trump-emails-voting-machines-election-00007449

Leaked emails obtained by POLITICO reveal the connection of two outside Trump allies — Washington lawyer Katherine Friess and Texas entrepreneur Russell Ramsland — to the failed push to seize voting machines as part of a desperate bid to overturn the 2020 election.

********
Friess, who is listed as a recipient on all three emails, sought access to Michigan voting machines in November 2020 and told election officials in Antrim County that she worked on a forensics team for ASOG, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported at the time. That paper said she flew in by chartered jet on Nov. 27, and told officials that she had dined with Trump and Giuliani the night before. Former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne told The Washington Post that he paid for the travel.

Friess’ group “made calls to township people on Thanksgiving Day to set all this up, they were strong-arming local clerks to get in and see those machines,” said Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy, according to the paper.
