...thinks they've done to the country he loves. It's the American way for the people out of power to criticize the ones in power. It's certainly the way of the American left.

He's already filed a number of complaints to judges, challenging everything from the way he was arrested to the language of the court documents he receives. He says there's no way he'll get a fair trial given the "lynch atmosphere" in the media. He wants his case dismissed. He's also asked...
