This is the most disgusting part of that article:
Trump’s lead attorney Christopher Kise [said]: “It’s a tragic day for the rule of law.”
“In a country where the First Amendment is sacrosanct, President Trump may not even comment on why he thinks he cannot get a fair trial,” Kise added in a subsequent statement to the press. “Hard to imagine a more unfair process and hard to believe this is happening in America.”
How dare they stop us from insulting, threatening, and inciting our followers to commit violence against an innocent member of the judge’s staff?!?
…a court security officer warned in a sworn statement that the clerk received “hundreds” of threatening and harassing messages, which spike every time the former president attacks her.
Did this poor woman have any hint before the trial started of the shit that would be dumped on her? I hope she’s getting adequate security and other forms of support.
And of course, the main reason they’re doing all this is pour encourager les autres.
Trump and his lawyers and supporters are monsters.
