A US judge on Monday apologized to the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump for the “legally deficient” treatment he has faced in a Washington DC, jail, including being placed on suicide watch, separated from other inmates and denied a Bible.
The US magistrate judge Zia Faruqui said he was disturbed by the conditions for Cole Allen, who allegedly fired a shotgun during a foiled attack on Trump and senior officials in his administration at a 25 April press gala. The judge said the conditions were inappropriate for a person with no criminal history.
“Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize,” Faruqui said during a court hearing.
Mine too.
Look how far it pushed GOP policy to ignore mountains of intel and let 9-11 happen. It got unilateral cooperation for a forever-war and the Patriot Act at the very least.
It’s likely the cause for Pearl Harbor too. They wanted something to drum up public support to enter the war.
