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.

In a statement posted overnight on Truth Social, Trump called U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan “highly partisan” and “very biased & unfair.”

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

    It may feel like bullshit because we all know what he did, but they are being careful to not give him any legal grounds to appeal or move the trial. What’s funny is everyone knows there is a two tiered justice system, it’s just who is on which tier is different from person to person. Also trying to minimize collateral damage is important.
