Retired Judge Michael Luttig, a conservative jurist who has nonetheless become a frequent critic of former President Donald Trump, outlined the dangerous game the former president is playing by attacking judges and their families.
Writing on Twitter, Luttig took Trump to task for his regular attacks on judges and their family members, including his most recent attacks on the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is currently overseeing his business records fraud trial related to 2016 hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
“The Nation is witnessing the determined delegitimization of both its Federal and State judiciaries and the systematic dismantling of its system of justice and Rule of Law by a single man – the former President of the United States,” Luttig began.
Luttig went on to document the unprecedented nature of Trump’s assault, which has not been limited to merely the judges who are overseeing his multiple criminal trials.
That would not change the minds of the faithful at all. Some right wing loser on TwitX would just invent some conspiracy theory like “the judge was in deep with the Mexican Cartel!!” and then they’d just continue like normal.
