Feds sought cooperation from Manafort's son-in-law
The Washington Examiner ^ | August 9, 2017 | Josh Siege

A Kangaroo Court is a sham legal proceeding or trial, one that denies due process and fairness in the name of expediency. The outcome of such a trial is essentially decided in advance for the purpose of providing a conviction; going through the motions of procedure is only done to make it "official". The defendant will likely be allowed no defense nor be allowed to call witnesses, present evidence or make objections. If they are allowed, they will be summarily overruled by the Hanging Judge that usually presides over the trial in question. Especially nasty versions may even slap the accused with "contempt of court" penalties for even trying to mount a defense. If the trial results in a death sentence, some people will use the term "judicial murder" to describe it.

..... especially in countries ruled by dictators, who are fond of putting dissidents through "show trials" as a prelude to execution. The etymology is unknown, though many (mostly wrong) suggestions have been made.

"The case against Clevinger was open and shut. The only thing missing was something to charge him with."

— Catch-22 .

Where is the special prosecutor for Hillary, Lynch, Lerner, Rice, Podesta, Maxine Waters, Axelrod, Huma,the Clinton Global Foundation...the pay to play while in office.....Outrageous!!!

Muller has no integrity....he is a team player for the left and the left only.

Apparently the laws are just for one side NOT the other......Call your Elected to stop this Kangaroo Court to get rid of the outsider....President Trump....a crime in it self....

In Mueller’s world, witness cooperation means “Say what I tell you to say or else!”

Another story about your hero, Mueller. Better get in here and cheer him on—he’s your best bet to sink Trump.

This makes me so ashamed of our government
And the FBI? Have turned into stormtroopers and secret police

The Attorney General? Does nothing

The GOP? Does nothing

This is not a normal legal case. This case is political show trial, so you have to use political means.

At some point, Manafort should be absolutely public about EVERYTHING that is said to him - any offers, threats, or blackmail.

As a political event - so it should be treated as one.

So Mueller was hired because...not Trump.

Tell me you didn’t just say that.

Well, no; actually you can’t deny it, because you just said exactly that. And it was bizarre.

"The GOP? Does nothing:

There is your key to it all. They are corrupt...all of them. Ether through blackmail or greed, they are the ones behind all of this. They could have stopped this at any time. All the bs that went on under obamba with the gopE in charge and all the phony hearings. Yet no wrong doing has ever been found.

It is conceivable that X can do Y without T ever knowing anything about it...or not

It is conceivable that RC could post X without ever having a clue.

“Manafort should be public...”

I hope he has it all on recordings.

Or maybe that’s s why they raided his home!

What they are obviously trying to do is find a lever on Manafort so that he will roll over and turn state evidence. But this development has the potential for leading the investigation off on a tangent, and I suspect that is really what Trump and company would want.
