Wallace: “When we come back, what we’re learning about the fire that destroyed the home of a South Carolina circuit court judge who faced criticism from Trump officials after a ruling she made against the Trump Administration. (...) It comes amid a surge in hostility and threats against judges, as well as criticism directly from the Trump Administration, including for Judge Goodstein, after she temporarily blocked the Justice Department from accessing the files of millions of registered voters in South Carolina. Mary McCord is still with us. Mary, what questions do you have based on what we’re hearing so far?”

MCCORD: “You know, this is the kind of — again, we’ve talked today already about crossing Rubicons, right, and when you’re starting to attack judges because of their rulings, we’re in a very, very dangerous position in this country. And it is — it makes judges fearful. It makes prosecutors fearful, as we know. It makes others in positions where they could be criticized by Donald Trump fearful. And he needs to know the power of his voice and how people respond to that. We’ve been saying this for years, Nicolle, but like if this is what this turns out to be, some sort of politically motivated act of domestic terrorism, then, you know, the importance and significance of the things that Donald Trump says about a person just, again, will be demonstrated in this instance.”
