Given the kinds of cases they’re getting these days, French courts are starting to resemble clown circuses.
Last week a French court had to listen to “Goldfinger” George Soros’ whine about his human rights being violated for an inside trading conviction.

No one comes in and you never get out, you know, that kind? If half of what he is supposed to have done is true, he needs to be “away” for a long, long time as in FOR-EV-ER.”
He is serving a life sentence for the murder of 2 DST police officers and of an informer. And he is facing another trial soon for the organization of terror attacks in France. I guess you can say it’s going to be pretty much FOR-EV-ER.
