Trump attacks former Federalist Society head Leonard Leo:
So Trump is trying to create a new conspiracy theory because he finds that even conservative judges are standing in his way to becoming a dictator.
Quote:From CNN:
Leo is an architect of not just the conservative legal movement but also many of Trump’s judicial picks in his first term. One study found 80% of Trump’s appeals-court judges were tied to the Federalist Society, as were all three of his Supreme Court picks.
Trump called Leo a “sleazebag” – in quotation marks – and “a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America.” He said Leo and the Federalist Society gave him bad advice on the judges he picked.
And perhaps most notably, he posited that maybe Leo was part of some kind of conspiracy.
It’s all very suggestive.
“He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court,” Trump said, before adding: “I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is!”
