I pulled this file late 2016 from court in California. It is unaltered. This is why Trump won't release the files - and this is only one incident.

Judges Who Break the Law: A Year of Terror Inside Franklin County, IL Court Why won’t anyone charge Judge Dirnbeck with intimidation of a disabled litigant?

I filed a federal suit in Illinois against the Franklin Co Court suggesting RICO. I am not a lawyer so I turned in as much as possible with my complaint.

12 counties are recused by order of Illinois Supreme court.
