This morning Trump slammed the prosecutors in the Stone case after quoting from Judge Napolitano. He also threatened to file a lawsuit based on the Mueller probe.
First, here’s the quote from Napolitano to give context:
“Judge Jackson now has a request for a new trial based on the unambiguous & self outed bias of the foreperson of the jury, whose also a lawyer, by the way. ‘Madam foreperson, your a lawyer, you have a duty, an affirmative obligation, to reveal to us when we selected you the…..
