Newsbusters ^ | June 3, 2024 | P.J. Gladnick

As many in the mockingbird media are celebrating the conviction of Donald Trump in the Manhattan trial, CNN's senior legal analyst has tossed cold water on their jubilation with a devastating analysis of how the prosecutors captured their political prey.

Honig's analysis appeared on Friday in New York Magazine which was reprinted from the CAFE Brief newsletter. The title alone expresses Honig's highly critical view of the prosecution: "Prosecutors Got Trump — But They Contorted the Law."

I wonder how much longer Honig can last at CNN? They don't tolerate truth tellers for long there.

The NY justice system lynched Trump just like an innocent black man in the Jim Crow south. No wonder blacks are rallying to Trump. They instinctually feel the injustice.

Kangaroo court is an informal pejorative term for a court that ignores recognized standards of law or justice, carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides, and is typically convened ad hoc.[1] A kangaroo court may ignore due process and come to a predetermined conclusion. The term is also used for a court held by a legitimate judicial authority, but which intentionally disregards the court’s legal or ethical obligations (compare show trial).[2]

Show Trial:

A show trial is a public trial in which the guilt or innocence of the defendant has already been determined. The purpose of holding a show trial is to present both accusation and verdict to the public, serving as an example and a warning to other would-be dissidents or transgressors.[2]

Show trials tend to be retributive rather than corrective, and they are also conducted for propagandistic purposes.[3] When aimed at individuals on the basis of protected classes or characteristics, show trials are examples of political persecution. The term was first recorded in 1928.[4]

The case against Trump made the Salem witch trials look like models of due process.

That’s exactly how they think.

Hannity, again today, says the biggest danger is that Republicans do it to Dems and then that’s the new standard.

Hannity is a masquerading fool! The only way it can be stopped is to use the same methods against the Dems!
