He may have threatened to make the justice system do it's job, and I bet he wished now that those threat's would have been enforced in a balanced justifiable way. If you got a snake by it's head, you best get control of it or it will literally come back to bite you
Trump's finding these lesson's out the hard way.

Stay tuned.
