Despite a co-defendant in Trump's Georgia RICO case facing the threat of jail for breaking bail terms to avoid tampering with witnesses and victims — a legal expert says the rhetoric of the 45th president is by far the biggest threat.

Harrison Floyd, who along with 18 defendants (including Former President Donald Trump) was indicted in the racketeering case of Fulton County, may be sent back to jail for giving interviews to conservative outlets discussing the specifics of the case.

Donald Trump on Friday suggested a retiring general might deserve the death penalty, prompting some to say he went too far and others to ask if the former president violated his court-ordered conditions for release.

Trump late in the evening lashed out against General Mark Milley, who said in a recent news profile that he was forced to keep Trump in check during his presidency.

Taken together, said former Robert Mueller investigation prosecutor Andrew Weissman on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," the behavior laid out in these charging documents is so astonishing that judges should be wary of even giving him pretrial release.

"The original indictment has this line in it," said anchor Nicolle Wallace. "It begins on page 22.
