"out of control judges" says the guy who a federal judge called out for violating the rights of people in Chicago. I don't think it's the judges who are out of control dude.
Bovino: "We're ratcheting operations up in Chicago. That's a very corrupt system in Chicago. Whether it's those elected leaders like Pritzker or those out of control judges, Chicago needs some attention. You're gonna see some very dynamic operations."
