Federal judge is upset that Trump regime fabricated evidence and more while breaking other laws, but says he's not going to do anything to punish any lawbreaker. He talks semi-tough but, in the end, is a coward.

From NY Times article: In some cases, [the judge] said, the government offered “fabricated” context and “ersatz” evidence. He called some prosecutor conduct “chicanery,” echoing observations he had shared at times during the case. He appeared particularly angered by the government’s insistence that the fired workers had ways outside of district courts to challenge their dismissals. Mr. Trump effectively disabled those options when he fired people in key positions, Judge Alsup noted.
