There was a team of reporters back in 2018 who "reported" on the "politically timed" – and unsubstantiated – claims against then-Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, that he approached little girls, even kissed them.
Moore earlier had been twice elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and then was removed over his decision to acknowledge the Ten Commandments. He long had been a target for Democrats and other leftists who are anti-Christian, who feared such a presence in the U.S. Senate.
That team eventually was honored with a Pulitzer prize for its published hit pieces on Moore, who ended up not winning the election.
Now one of those team members is under arrest – in an irony too massive to miss: Child porn charges.
A report at Revolver News explains it is Thomas Pham LeGro, 48, who is accused of possessing child porn.
He is a journalist at the Washington Post and resident of the District of Columbia.
"The charges were announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro. Pirro thanks FBI Assistant Director in Charge Steven J. Jensen and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department for their ongoing efforts in this investigation. On June 26, 2025, FBI agents executed a search warrant at LeGro's residence and seized several electronic devices. A review of LeGro's work laptop revealed a folder that contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material," the report said.
FBI agents and members of a task force charged with investigating and bringing federal charges against suspects in the exploitation of children are investigating.
The report explained the background, "In 2018, the liberal media patted themselves on the back for taking down Roy Moore, a Republican Senate candidate from Alabama. The takedown followed the usual pattern. Moore was attacked over allegations from 40 years ago. Allegations that were unproven, disputed, and oh-so-perfectly politically timed. The Washington Post, naturally, led the charge. They published the hit piece, won their little gold trophy, and got their high-fives in the newsroom."
Those reports were based on statements from various individuals who made claims about Moore.
The publication's biography on LeGro reveals how he participated in the anti-Moore campaign, and has been promoted multiple times since.
"Federal agents found a folder with eleven child porn videos. LeGro was so panicked, he even tried destroying the hard drives right as agents arrived," the report said.
"During the execution of the search warrant agents observed what appeared to be fractured pieces of a hard drive in the hallway outside the room where LeGro's work laptop was found," authorities explained.

President Donald Trump on Sunday pushed a "temporary pass" for immigrant farmworkers in America, while he blasted "lunatics" in Biden administration for bringing prisoners from other countries into America, calling it "a sin that we can never forget."
"This to me was the worst part of Biden," Trump said in an exclusive interview on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel. "The worst thing he did was the whole thing on immigration."
"They would empty their prisons into the United States," Trump said. "Not just South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, parts of Europe, rough parts of Europe.
"Their prisons were emptied into the United States and the people, you saw the people.
They run into the country. To me, that's a sin that we can never forget. We can never forget what Biden and that group of lunatics that work for him have done to our country."
"If I didn't get elected, I'm telling you, we wouldn't have had a country left."
Trump also says he's working on a temporary pass for immigrants working on American farms.
"We're gonna work it so that some kind of a temporary pass where people pay taxes, where the farmer can have a little control, as opposed to you walk in and take everybody away. But no, I want, the criminals are going out of this country."
"I cherish our farmers, and when we go into a farm and when we take away people that have been working there for 15 and 20 years, who are good, who possibly came in incorrectly, and what we're gonna do is we're gonna do something for farmers where we can let the farmers sort of be in charge.
"The farmer knows. He's not gonna hire a murderer. But when you go into a farm and he's had somebody working for him for nine years doing this kind of work, which is hard work to do, and a lot of people aren't gonna do it, and you end up destroying a farmer because you took all the people away."
"It's a problem. You know, I'm on both sides of the thing. I'm the strongest immigration guy that there's ever been, but I'm also the strongest farmer guy that there's ever been. And that also includes also hotels and places where people work, a certain group of people work."
Regarding this week's victory of socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City's Democratic primary in the race for mayor, Trump called him a "radical left lunatic."
"He's a communist. I think it's very bad for New York. I don't know that he's gonna get in. It's inconceivable. But he's a communist and he's a pure communist. I think he admits it," Trump explained.
"I can't imagine it, but let's say this. If he does get in, I'm gonna be president, and he's gonna have to do the right thing or they're not getting any money. He's got to do the right thing."
Trump avoided saying whom he'd like to see as NYC mayor, but added: "I can tell you this. Who's ever mayor of New York is gonna have to behave themselves or the federal government is coming down very tough on them financially."

A huge thumbs up was being offered to the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday from multiple high-profile organizations that work to protect the rights and freedoms of Americans.
In the Mahmoud v. Taylor case, the justices, 6-3, said Montgomery County, Maryland, schools could not force LGBT indoctrination on young children, and the constitutional issues involve religious rights of families, parents, and children.
The decision provides an injunction that parents now can opt their children out of the ideological teachings of the leftist school district.
Liberty Counsel chairman Mat Staver said, "This U.S. Supreme Court has once again upheld that parents have the right to direct the education and provide for the welfare of their children. The First Amendment simply does not allow government schools to require families to sacrifice their religious beliefs for their children to attend school. Parents in all states should be given adequate opportunity to review any instructional material and must be given the ability to opt their children out of instruction that violates their faith."
The ruling itself warned that the materials the district was using for its indoctrination program were not merely providing information, they were making LGBT choices "normative," meaning they promoted the alternatives LGBT lifestyle choices as "normal" to the children.
"They are designed to present certain values and beliefs as things to be celebrated, and certain contrary values and beliefs as things to be rejected. Take, for example, the message sent by the books concerning same sex marriage. Many Americans 'advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned.' That group includes each of the parents in this case. The storybooks, however, are designed to present the opposite viewpoint to young, impressionable children who are likely to accept without question any moral messages conveyed by their teacher's instruction," the ruling said.
Further, said the ruling, "The storybooks present same-sex weddings as occasions for great celebration and suggest that the only rubric for determining whether a marriage is acceptable is whether the individuals concerned 'love each other.' The storybooks similarly convey a normative message on the subjects of sex and gender. Many Americans, like the parents in this case, believe that biological sex reflects divine creation, that sex and gender are inseparable, and that children should be encouraged to accept their sex and to live accordingly. The storybooks, however, suggest that it is hurtful, and perhaps even hateful, to hold the view that gender is inextricably bound with biological sex."
In fact, Montgomery County's books "impose upon children a set of values and beliefs that are 'hostile' to their parents' religion beliefs."
ADF spokesman John Bursch said, "The U.S. Supreme Court's decision is a monumental victory for parents and their fundamental right to make decisions consistent with their religious beliefs about the upbringing and education of their children. Government officials can't force parents to give up that right or violate their religious beliefs in exchange for a public education.
"In line with American history, tradition, and judicial precedent, the court affirmed that school officials cannot act like their job is to replace parents and their beliefs. Our Constitution forbids schools from indoctrinating children with uniform views on sexuality and gender—hotly debated topics—in conflict with their families' religious beliefs. We applaud the court's protection of parents' right to choose what's best for their children's education. We also congratulate our friends at Becket Fund for Religious Liberty for their hard-fought win in this important case."
Kayla Toney, of First Liberty Institute, said, "The U.S. Supreme Court today strengthened the rights of parents by ensuring that they have a say when it comes to the education of their children, especially when families' religious beliefs are at stake. Our children do not belong to the state, and the government should not be able to hide what it's teaching in schools simply because it doesn't agree with parents' values or religious beliefs."
Becket explained, "The new 'inclusivity' books were announced in 2022 for students in pre-K through fifth grade. Instead of focusing on basic principles of respect and kindness, however, the books champion controversial ideology around gender and sexuality. For example, one book tasks three- and four-year-olds to search for images from a word list that includes 'intersex flag,' 'drag queen,' 'underwear,' 'leather,' and the name of a celebrated LGBTQ activist and sex worker. Another book advocates a child-knows-best approach to gender transitioning, telling students that a decision to transition doesn't have to 'make sense.' Teachers are instructed to say doctors only 'guess' when identifying a newborn's sex anyway. The School Board revoked notice and opt-outs for these storybooks, which violates Maryland law, the Board's policies, and the advice of its own elementary school principals. "

A previously classified letter written by Hamas leaders on the morning of Oct. 7, 2023, has revealed the terror organization's detailed plans and motivations for the devastating attack on Israel, including their belief that the assault would lead to Israel's complete destruction.
This explosive intelligence document was recently reported in Hebrew-language Maariv news, following its discovery in a bunker used by Hamas military leadership after the elimination of Yahya Sinwar.
The lengthy personal letter was written by three top Hamas officials – Mohammed Deif, Yahya Sinwar and Marwan Issa – and addressed to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Said Izadi, commander of the "Palestine Corps" within Iran's Revolutionary Guard Quds Force.
Intelligence assessments indicate the letter was sent on the morning of Oct. 7, either as the Nukhba fighters began their assault on Israeli communities or shortly thereafter.
The document provides rare insight into the religious ideology driving Hamas, a Sunni Islamist organization founded in 1987 as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. Unlike secular Palestinian nationalist groups, Hamas views the conflict with Israel through an explicitly Islamic lens, seeing the destruction of the Jewish state as a religious obligation. The organization's charter calls for establishing an Islamic state in all of historic Palestine and rejects any permanent peace with Israel on theological grounds.
Apologies for not coordinating
The document opens with prayers and Quranic verses before delivering a stunning revelation: Hamas leadership apologizes profusely to Nasrallah for not informing him in advance of the attack timing.
"We are sorry we did not update you," the letter states, explaining that the "intelligence capabilities of the enemy" forced them to maintain radio silence and avoid sharing the attack timeline with external partners.
"When you read these words, thousands of jihad fighters from the Al-Qassam Brigades will be attacking targets of the criminal Zionist occupation," the letter declares, detailing plans to breach the security fence, engage Israeli forces and capture both military and civilian positions while taking hostages.
Religious justification and Al-Aqsa
The Hamas leaders justify their attack primarily through religious claims about Al-Aqsa Mosque, dedicating hundreds of words to alleged Israeli "crimes" at the holy site. They cite Jewish prayers at the Temple Mount, the presence of religious Jews in "priestly garments" and references to red heifers as evidence of Israeli intentions to "destroy Al-Aqsa and build the Temple."
"They no longer hide their intentions to destroy Al-Aqsa and build the Temple, and there is no greater proof of this than bringing red heifers," the letter states, referring to Jewish religious requirements for Temple service.
The document meticulously lists grievances including restrictions on Muslim worshippers, Israeli security operations in the West Bank cities of Jenin, Nablus and Hebron, and Israeli military actions in Syria and Iraq.
Strategic analysis of Israeli intentions
The letter reveals sophisticated strategic thinking, analyzing an Israeli Cabinet decision from Aug. 22, 2023, which Hamas interpreted as a shift toward confronting each member of the "resistance axis" separately rather than simultaneously. This analysis may explain Israeli intelligence concerns about "miscalculation" on the night of Oct. 7, as Israel sought to avoid appearing threatening to prevent Hamas from launching a preemptive attack.
"Instead of causing us to enter battle against him united to defend Al-Aqsa – an issue that would cause the entire region to explode in his face – he should retreat tactically to enter separate battles with each one individually," the Hamas leaders wrote.
Apocalyptic vision and call for unity
The letter's most chilling sections reveal Hamas' messianic beliefs about destroying Israel and transforming the Middle East.
Predicting their attack will eliminate the Oslo Accords and topple Arab regimes normalizing relations with Israel, they write: "This battle, by God's grace, will change the equations and the rules that have become conventions. We will wash away and erase the stage of struggles and conflicts that have struck the region and realize, with God's permission, the greatest historical turning point in Islamic history."
The Hamas leaders urgently plead with Nasrallah to join the assault: "Today Al-Aqsa, its women and Murabitun activists are crying out to you, and Jenin, Hebron, and the blood of martyrs are calling you to mobilize."
Military strategy and expectations
The letter outlines specific military tactics Hamas hoped Hezbollah would employ: concentrated rocket bombardments to overwhelm Iron Dome systems, targeting airfields and military headquarters to paralyze Israeli air power, followed by large-scale ground attacks to seize territory and population centers.
"Concentrated bombing with rockets on the occupation's basic arteries in large barrages … will disperse and destroy the Iron Dome," the letter details, predicting this would create "a state of shock and fear" leading to "rapid collapse."
The authors suggest a coordinated assault lasting two to three days would achieve their goals of completely destroying Israel.
International messaging strategy
Remarkably, the letter also reveals Hamas' propaganda strategy, instructing that public discourse should not speak of "eliminating or destroying Israel," but rather focus on international resolutions and political rhetoric to prevent other nations from fighting alongside Israel.
The aftermath
Twenty months after Oct. 7, the Middle East landscape has indeed been transformed, though not as Hamas envisioned. While the Oct. 7 massacre inflicted unprecedented casualties and trauma on Israel, the subsequent Israeli response has decimated Hamas leadership and capabilities.
Mohammed Deif, Yahya Sinwar, Marwan Issa, Hassan Nasrallah, and Said Izadi – all recipients or authors of this letter – have been eliminated, along with hundreds of senior operatives across the "resistance axis."
The letter stands as a chilling testament to the religious fanaticism and strategic miscalculation that led Hamas to launch its devastating attack, ultimately achieving the opposite of its apocalyptic vision, while causing immense suffering on all sides.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed Wednesday that the recent U.S. strike on Iran caused severe damage to the nation's nuclear program.
Ratcliffe's X post condemns media reports based on supposed leaked intelligence from the Defense Intelligence Agency claiming that the damage was not debilitating to Iran's nuclear ambitions, but only set Tehran back by a few months.
In the statement, Ratcliffe said the CIA has credible intelligence, including from a trusted source, that key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and will take years to rebuild.
"CIA can confirm that a body of credible intelligence indicates Iran's Nuclear Program has been severely damaged by the recent, targeted strikes," he wrote.
Ratcliffe added that the agency is still gathering intelligence and will keep officials and, when possible, the public informed.
The statement directly contradicts leaked reports that suggested the strikes had limited impact. Ratcliffe said those reports were based on illegally sourced information and do not reflect the CIA's current assessment.
In an earlier post, President Trump slammed the CNN reporter responsible for the story.
Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, said on X: "New intelligence confirms what @POTUS has stated numerous times: Iran's nuclear facilities have been destroyed. If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Esfahan) entirely, which would likely take years to do.
"The propaganda media has deployed their usual tactic: selectively release portions of illegally leaked classified intelligence assessments (intentionally leaving out the fact that the assessment was written with 'low confidence') to try to undermine President Trump's decisive leadership and the brave servicemen and women who flawlessly executed a truly historic mission to keep the American people safe and secure."

The network claims the information was based on a bombing assessment report done by the Defense Intelligence Agency after the strikes
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is rebuking CNN after the network ran a story based on "leaked" sources claiming that the damage the U.S. attack on Iran inflicted over the weekend only set Tehran's nuclear ambitions behind by "a few month."
CNN reported Tuesday that three sources indicate the attack Saturday "did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months."
The network claims the information was based on a bombing assessment report done by the Defense Intelligence Agency after the strikes.
Leavitt rebutted the report on social media, pointing out the CNN story was put together "by the same 'reporter' who wrote the very first FAKE NEWS story claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation."
That reporter is Natasha Bertrand.
Besides Leavitt, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also discounted the report, telling Fox News the attack "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities.
"Based on everything we have seen — and I've seen it all — our bombing campaign obliterated Iran's ability to create nuclear weapons," Hegseth said. "Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target — and worked perfectly. The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran; so anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the President and the successful mission."

President Donald Trump expressed concern Monday over a statement by the former president of Russia who is now warning: "A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads."
The comment comes from Dmitry Medvedev, who is currently the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.
Trump is now asking rhetorically on Truth Social: "Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the 'N word' (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?
"Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY.
"The 'N word' should not be treated so casually. I guess that's why Putin's 'THE BOSS.'"
Trump concluded his message by noting: "By the way, if anyone thinks our 'hardware' was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines. They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks – All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!"
As WorldNetDaily reported, in a series of Sunday posts on X, Medvedev did not specifically name the countries supposedly willing to provide nuclear weapons to Tehran, but asked rhetorically, "What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?
He then provided his answers.
"Critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage."
"The enrichment of nuclear material – and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons – will continue."
"Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking."
"The US is now entangled in a new conflict, with prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon.
"Donald Trump, once hailed as 'president of peace,' has now pushed the US into another war.
"The vast majority of countries around the world oppose the actions of Israel and the United States.
"At this rate, Trump can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize – not even with how rigged it has become. What a way to kick things off, Mr. President. Congratulations!"
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on Sunday the U.S. will suffer "everlasting consequences" as a result of its Operation Midnight Hammer.
"The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear installations," Araghchi said.
"The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior."
"In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people."

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio got into a heated discussion with a network news anchor Sunday about American intelligence regarding President Donald Trump's military strike Saturday against three of Iran's nuclear sites.
Rubio was asked on "Face the Nation" by CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan: "Are you saying there that the United States did not see intelligence that the supreme leader [of Iran] had ordered weaponization [of uranium]?"
"That's an irrelevant question," Rubio responded.
Brennan said: "That is the key point in U.S. intelligence assessment. You know that."
"No it's not, Rubio replied.
"Yes it was," Brennan insisted.
"No it's not," Rubio emphasized. "I know that better than you know that, and I know that that's not the case. You don't know what you're talking about."
"It doesn't matter if the order was given. They have everything they need to build nuclear weapons. Why would you bury things in a mountain 300 feet under the ground? Why do they have 60% enriched uranium? You don't need 60% enriched uranium.
"The only countries in the world that have uranium at 60% are countries that have nuclear weapons, because you can quickly make 90[%]. They have all of the elements. Why do they have a space program? Is Iran gonna go to the moon? No. They're trying to build an ICBM so they can one day put a warhead on it."
Rubio also appeared on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, and said "President Trump did the world a favor last night" with the strikes against the Islamic regime in Iran, adding, "They played way too many games, and now they found out. … They think they're cute. They're not cute."
"They tried to play him along the way they've played every American president for the last 35 years. The President told them if we don't get a deal, which is what we wanted, then I'll have to handle it differently. And that's what he did last night. He handled it differently.
"But that was an Iranian choice. We didn't make that choice. They did by playing games with Donald Trump."
"They thought they could do with President Trump what they've done with presidents in the past and get it away with it, and they found out last night that they can't," Rubio continued.
"This is a president that tells you what he's going to do and then he does it."
When asked about potential retaliation by Iran, Rubio warned of a "devastating" U.S. response: "We retain options to deal with that."
"In the end, we're gonna judge them by the actions that they take moving forward."
"What happens next will depend on what they do. They want to negotiate, we're ready to negotiate.They want to get cute, and do things that are dangerous, we have responses available that are devastating."
He said, "Iran will be held responsible" for military action by any of Tehran's proxy groups in other nations.
"The only reason we have U.S. bases in the region … is because they are afraid Iran will attack them, and they want us there to help defend them. … These countries understand what Iran is, what the regime is. They get it."
"I don't like the [Iranian] regime, but we're not in the regime-change business here."
Regarding any possible Chinese complicity with flights leaving Iran for China, Rubio said: "No, we don't have any evidence that the Chinese were involved in anything, other than perhaps trying to get Chinese nationals out of Iran."

If extremism is a competition, Democrat lawmakers in Oregon are in the finals.
They arranged for a drag show to highlight their resolution, from Portland Rep. Travis Nelson, that honors the black drag industry in the state.
Oregon Live waxed eloquent about the event, with, "Isaiah Esquire danced his way through the Oregon House of Representatives on Wednesday to the sounds of Aretha Franklin, followed closely by fellow Black drag performer Aqua Flora, who held a pride flag aloft as they sashayed down the chamber's center aisle."
The report noted Speaker Pro Tempore David Gomberg said it was "appropriate" for lawmakers to applaud during the performance.
Nelson said, "Your presence, artistry and courage are a powerful reminder of the joy, resilience and cultural impact of drag in Oregon and beyond. Thank you for sharing your light with us this morning."
Nelson, as Oregon's first openly LGBTQ African American lawmaker, offered the self-promoting resolution weeks ago, pointing out that resolutions in the body rarely recognized members of the state's LGBTQ community.
Just two Republicans supported the measure, with most GOP members not in attendance.
A report from Fox News said drag queens Isaiah Esquire and Aqua Flora lip-synched Aretha Franklin's "A Deeper Love" and another tune while wearing bright gold outfits and dancing around the room.
Nelson described the performance as "incredible."
In a statement to Fox News Digital, House Republican Leader Christine Drazan condemned the performance as an "ostentatious display" of "social activism."
"Yesterday's ill-advised performance broke our chamber protocols and standards for opening ceremonies in the Oregon House of Representatives. Turning the House Floor into a smokey bar is beneath the dignity of this body. Opening ceremonies are not the time or place for ostentatious displays of political symbols and social activism," Drazan said.

A trial for a Wisconsin judge, accused of obstructing federal ICE agents, has been taken off the calendar as lawyers expect a courtroom fight over her claim that she has absolute immunity for her actions.
Those actions, caught on video, show a visibly enraged Hannah Dugan directing ICE agents to leave the hallway in front of her courtroom, and then helping a wanted suspect to leave through a non-public door so the agents would not see him.
That suspect, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, was in her courtroom in a case in which he was accused of domestic abuse.
The suspect, an illegal alien criminal, was, in fact, captured by ICE agents shortly after Dugan, on video, helped him out of the courtroom, but only after a foot chase by federal agents.
A report at the Gateway Pundit described how the video shows Dugan "angrily confronting ICE agents in the courthouse."
Dugan later was arrested by the FBI for obstructing federal law enforcement. She's relieved of her duties but taxpayers in Wisconsin still are paying her salary.
She has argued now that everything she did, in her courtroom, even in the courthouse, is exempt from any criminal charges whatsoever, ever. That's in conflict with a federal grand jury that indicted her on two counts of obstructing an ICE arrest.
If convicted, Dugan could be sentenced to up to six years in prison and fined $350,000.
The FBI pursued her arrest and indictment because she became angry when she discovered federal agents were waiting to arrest the suspect.
WND reported that FBI Director Kash Patel has accused Dugan of intentionally misdirecting agents away from the subject.
Evidence shows Dugan ended the hearing for Flores-Ruiz "so she could discreetly escort him through a 'jury door' to avoid his arrest."
Her lawyers claim the prosecution against her for her actions to help a suspected criminal evade arrest is "barred."
In an interview on "American Reports," Attorney General Pam Bondi explained how the Trump administration will handle judges who obstruct and block federal efforts to secure the border and remove illegal aliens.
"We are going to prosecute you, and we are prosecuting you. I found out about this the day it happened," she said.
"We could not believe, actually, that a judge really did that. We looked into the facts in great depth… You cannot obstruct a criminal case. And really, shame on her. It was a domestic violence case of all cases, and she's protecting a criminal defendant over victims of crime."
