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.

    The thing is, both sides have a right to a speedy trial. The prosecution, and the citizens they represent, have been waiting three and a half years already.

      Simply because of the complexity of it all. I mean it’s never happened before so the DOJ and state justice dept’s had to triple-check that each and every “i” was dotted and “t” was crossed. Never mind the millions of pages of evidence that had be collated, then backed up from other sources.

      It is mind-boggling it’s only been 3.5 years!

        It can take a year and a half to convict a mass shooter caught red-handed.
