    THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL WITH THE JUDGE ‘ASSIGNED’ TO THE REDICULOUS FREEDOM OF SPEECH/FAIR ELECTIONS CASE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, AND SO DOES SHE

    — Donald Trump

    On what grounds?

    Trump previously said it would be “IMPOSSIBLE” for him to get a fair trial in Washington, in part because he has called for “a Federal TAKEOVER” of the district “in order to bring our Capital back to Greatness,” according to posts on his social media site.

    So the logic is that if I say some crazy ass shit then I can just keep delaying my trail and picking judges that I like? I don’t think that’s a great lead chief but let’s see how that plays out.

      What the hell does even “a Federal TAKEOVER” mean? It’s not a state. DC is all but ran by congress, and is by definition a federal district…
