Defense attorney spoke briefly in court and said the criminal case was ridiculous

She said “even a 15 year old would know” that this case was not a criminal threat against the President

About the military who are now being designated to help the U.S. Attorney office in DC handle the wave of cases in this federal crackdown in DC……. Judge wonders why none are being deployed to help the federal defenders manage an “exhausting” caseload ?

Judge: they have time for press conferences and tweets.. but not for this
