[She hears Qui-Gon's comment about Palpatine's behavior, certainly, but thinks there's little sense in responding to it. There's no point in consoling him for not seeing it. In other situations she would take it upon herself to do that, but not when when Emperor is involved. No, there was no way to know how far he would go, but as far as Leia cares, that absolves no one of the responsibility for his rise to power.]
Obi-Wan has said he was also a Sith Lord, but that's not my area of expertise.
[Not that she feels Qui-Gon needs to know much about the Sith, or at least he doesn't need to hear that from her.]
The fact is the Republic and the Jedi were both destroyed by Darth Vader and Palpatine.
