We hoped the courts would recognize this for the political persecution it is and dismiss the charges. Unfortunately, a federal judge ruled that the case could go to trial.

The message from Trump is crystal clear - if you beat the hell of out police, if you threaten to kill FBI officers - I will make sure you get away with it if you are breaking the law to keep me in power.
