Judge: Trump didn’t hurt Bergdahl case

A military judge on Friday rejected defense claims that U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl cannot get a fair trial after Donald Trump, when he was running for president, repeatedly called the Idaho native a traitor and said he should be pushed out of a plane without a parachute. Trump’s comments also included saying in 2015 that Bergdahl “should be shot” and that “in the good old days he would have been executed.” The judge, Army Col. Jeffery Nance, said the statements were troubling. However, Nance said they were “clearly made to enflame the passions” of voters against Democrat Hillary Clinton but do not prevent Bergdahl from receiving a fair trial/ John Sowell , Idaho Statesman.
