Malik isn't wrong though A ex-waiter/ex-actress work as secretary got fired for destroying evidence and then rehired(with increased salary I believe) and miraculously promoted into a COO because she ask for it For outsider, it doesn't take a genius to think there's something sketchy behind

[@zizzi1227]

Since she destroyed the document and was fired and then rehired and promoted at her own request, I don't think any degree would have convinced the judge. And Malik would have speculated about the relationship between Donna and Harvey anyway, especially since the position of COO is defined in relation to the CEO and the close relationship between the two people.

Sorry but watching Donna get called out for not being qualified to be COO is still very satisfying… even now years later

[@marydeandrea7039]

Couldn’t agree more! It was all the better having such an amazing actor do it justice(no pun intended). This character lent a shred of credibility back to the show after the writers insulted us with the Donna promotion BS. The only way it was at all tenable (and I mean even within the confines of the imaginary show!) was that it showed the absurd lengths Harvey would go to keep Donna in his life while still protecting his defenses against risking a romantic relationship with her. IMO, this could be seen as one of the greatest indicators of his love/need for her…given the great Harvey Specter willing to risk his professional reputation and the perception of his firm all bc he can’t let her go (he knows this is the compromise needed for her “wanting more”) and he also still can’t reveal and commit to his true feelings for her. It was still really hard to watch this Donna storyline. Total cringe and didn’t fit even within the greatly stretched boundaries of realistic within the show.

[@HH2k01]

He was amazing in this role! Perfectly cast. I mean when I’m more mesmerized by his performance than even Gabriel’s, THAT was refreshing!! His character exposed all the absurdity the writers insulted the viewers with. Gave back some shred of credibility to the show.

[@seancallaghan54]

In actual court this would be days of objection and the prosecutor would be reprimanded

[@ajg8722]

Right?! So argumentative and inflammatory.

[@fernandof.bompard5388]

The issue regarding the obstruction of justice, specifically the allegation that Donna destroyed evidence, was entirely unconstitutional and illegal. The evidence in question was not pertinent to this case but was associated with another criminal case. It should be noted that Donna has not been found guilty in that case. Furthermore, the document in question was not affiliated with Coastal Motors but was a counterfeit document linked to an unrelated third party. Given these circumstances, Harvey's objection should have been upheld by the judge. However, if the objection had been overruled, as it indeed was, any accusation against Donna in court would grant her the right to invoke the Fifth Amendment, allowing her to abstain from answering any questions related to this matter.

[@cuplishcupid5509]

Oh.

[@imogene2044]

Agree

[@ElectroDFW]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the 5th applies in a motion hearing. Only at an actual trial.

[@fernandof.bompard5388]

@@ElectroDFW A testimony is a form of evidence that can be introduced in Court by a witness, but, in this case, Malik is not taking Donna's statement as a witness about the hearing's subject, he is, in fact, accusing her of a crime. That's when our 5th amendment rights kick in, because a person cannot be forced into pleading guilty before the Court.

[@fernandof.bompard5388]

@@ElectroDFW also, Malik is using a very tricky strategy, he is applying the witness duty to tell the truth and to not mislead the Court, this would be considered perjury, to, in fact, speculate and get a forced confession of crime to destroy her character's reputation. Although, any criminal attorney should know the difference between witness's law and Constitutional rights, Harvey is potrayed as a succesful attorney, but he did not realize this simple tricky tatic.

[@yinhuili]

They should've prepare her. Even if her chance to be up there is small, they should've prep her.

[@solangevinces]

Sad to say but Malik was right. I always thought Donna was a great secretary, she should’ve stayed like that. Her promotion was so forced.

[@cesarg2768]

She became the worst part of the show

[@zizzi1227]

The writers built Malik's attack on Donna and made it seem righteous based on the fact that there are many types of COOs, some of which require business licenses. The rest depends on the type of company and the job description. Her duties did not require business degrees or law studies

[@ganthc]

@@zizzi1227 please list premiere firms that have COOs without MBAs, or a long track record of management promotions to justify the position. I won’t hold my breath. Donna was capable of doing the job, but she wasn’t qualified. It’s why Malik’s attack stung so bad.

[@Elisa-gn5nj]

@@ganthc Are you saying that her promotion was illegal?

[@ganthc]

@@Elisa-gn5nj nope. Just that she wasn't qualified for the position. Companies can do whatever they want with hiring, but it's a massive joke to say that a premiere law firm in NYC would promote a long time secretary to COO overnight without some progression in leadership, minus having advanced degrees. For example, if Donna had spent a few years being Director of Personnel, then getting the COO job, that might have worked. There are real life examples of people that were secretaries that worked their way up to an executive role. Carly Fiorina is one. However, Donna had no advanced degree, and no progression of work experience to qualify her for the position.

[@club6525]

If I were Donna, I would've argued that the acting position of COO draws a parallel to that of a programmer. Although programmers generally develop an advanced skillset through a computer science degree, a skillset developed by oneself is sufficient given that the skills the person possesses does not render the person incapable of their job duties.

[@anthonyiuculano6002]

Donna should have pleaded the Fifth.

[@solidmoon8266]

While Malik might've been right on some things. He crossed so many lines and broke so many laws that the few things he might have been right about pale in comparison.

[@mixtisoreviews6880]

Yeah cuz Harvey never does anything wrong either

[@GuitarHeroRocks99]

So why did the judge not respond to any of their objections to the incredibly inappropriate and unrelated questions he was asking Donna?

[@flopus7]

The writers: judges can just ignore objections right?

[@VDA19]

Wouldn't Donna be protected by the Fifth Amendment from the question on whether she destroyed that document? If it's illegal, she has the right to not self-incriminate. Harvey, Mike and the Judge should've immediately been on it.

[@ganthc]

No, because like Harvey said, the file was a fake and destroying fake evidence is not a crime. The question is fair as to whether she destroyed the file though, because his main objective was to have the article admitted about the memo, and to explain the absence of the memo with Donna's promotion. He didn't actually ask her if she destroyed the memo, just made her look sketchy on the stand. If he really wanted to get her in trouble, he could have questioned her about impersonating a federal agent to steal evidence in a lawsuit. My guess is that she would have folded like a cheap suit at that questioning, much like she did in Mike's trial.

[@ilina84107]

@@ganthc I think Donna had no way out of this situation because The COO is generally a position created to complement the existing CEO. The CEO chooses his COO because, apart from the conditions necessary to fulfill the job, there must be trust, respect, connection between the two and, according to some studies, even chemistry. Exactly the relationship the writers created between Donna and Harvey. So Malik would have twisted the questions anyway to conclude that Harvey promoted her because she slept with him or destroyed documents at his request.

[@izzyizzy241]

Having experienced the previous trial, Harvey was afraid of Louis' questions and Donna's answers. Although she insisted they easily gave up on the mock trial to protect their own feelings

Malik was always correct in saying from an external view in almost any other case Donna’s promotion was BS. Donna was the exception, she had like 15 years with the firm at that point, and spent much of that time helping and having an ear in pretty much every aspect of the firm. She was self-trained to be a match for any standard qualified coo and everyone in the firm knew it. Also, that judge is one of the worst on this show to date, blatantly disregarding basic court etiquette just to allow an incredibly sketchy evidence piece to be admitted.
