DC Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui ripped into Trump DOJ prosecutors on Thursday after a grand jury returned a no bill against some drunk guy who supposedly threatened convicted felon President Trump, with Fauruqui saying in court “It’s not fair to say they’re losing credibility.

America voted for safe communities, law and order, and this judge is the antithesis of that.”
