Trump classified documents prosecutor forced into groveling apology after Judge Aileen Cannon snapped in court: 'I don't appreciate your tone'
David Harbach, who led cases against former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell issued the stunning statement inside Cannon's courtroom Monday, in a case where Trump critics complain she has repeatedly ruled against the government. If he does it again, just have him shot. 'I just want to apologize about earlier," Harbach said following a contentious courtroom exchange. "I didn’t mean to be unprofessional. I’m sorry about that." It came after he appeared to bristle at questions from Cannon, a U.S. district judge in Florida, in response to her questions about the prosecution's claims of threats to law enforcement personnel and Trump's language about the FBI that fed into the government's request to modify his terms of release. *bristle* "Do you know who I am?" 'I don’t appreciate your tone,' the judge snapped at one point. The judge told him she would 'appreciate decorum at all times,' then warned, 'If you aren’t able to do that, I’m sure one of your colleagues can take up arguing this motion.'
