Former President Trump criticized the judge presiding over his 2020 election case, just days after she warned him against making any “inflammatory statements” that could intimidate witnesses or prejudice the jury pool.

“She obviously wants me behind bars,” he added.

        Right? This whole “we can’t punish criminals because other criminals might engage in criminal behavior” attitude is mystifying to me. What ever happened with not negotiating with terrorists as a national policy?

          The very scenario that quote came from was one of… Extensive, and disastrous, negotiation with terrorists. So, not much has changed.
