After being placed on the hot seat, Leila De Lima's actions were observed and were not safe from critics.

One social media user cited several examples of how Leila De Lima manipulated the media and other people into falling perfectly into her traps. Examples that were mentioned came even from before the election period. Allegations to President Duterte were made, one example was the President's connection with the Davao death squad which was never proven.

    In 1976, the US Senate ordered a fresh inquiry into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was murdered in 1963 during a motorcade in Dallas, Texas while campaigning for re-election. People who had been involved in the original Warren Commission investigations were asked to make fresh statements. The FBI and the CIA were persuaded to release more of their documents on Oswald. New lines of inquiry were opened and individuals who had not previously given evidence were persuaded to come forward. Most important of all, pieces of evidence such as photos and sound recordings were subjected to scientific analysis using the most up-to-date methods and equipment. The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) completed their investigation in 1979 and they finally came to a discrete verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at Kennedy, one of which killed the president. A fourth shot was fired from the grassy knoll, which was contradictory to the statement printed by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier. They concluded that John Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy.…

    On November 22, 1963, a tragic event occurred in America that shook the nation. The president at the time, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. What not many people know is that his assumed assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was actually assassinated two days later. Lee Harvey Oswald was shot while being transferred to the county jail, by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner. Oswald was supposedly assassinated because Jack Ruby was so moved by the death of John F. Kennedy that he wanted revenge. The assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald was unjust because there is little to no evidence that he murdered JFK, and there was never a full trial determining whether the assassin was Oswald or not; however, others believe that Oswald was the assassin of JFK, so…
