Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday described legal proceedings against former US president Donald Trump as “politically motivated persecution.”
The Kremlin, seen has having friendly relations with Trump, has repeatedly spoken out in defence of the former president, who is facing a series of charges linked to election interference.
“As for the persecution of Trump, for us, in the current environment, it’s good because it shows the rottenness of the American system,” Putin said at an economic forum in the Far East.
“It is a politically motivated persecution of one’s competitor.”
Putin, who served in the Soviet security services, added: “And this shows who we are fighting … As they said in Soviet times: ‘the bestial face of American capitalism.'”
Relations between Washington and Moscow, strained by a litany of issues under Putin, have hit new lows since the Kremlin launched large-scale hostilities in Ukraine.
Putin said he did not expect any change in US foreign policy stance towards Russia regardless of “whoever will be elected president” next year.

LOL - Mind your own business!
Even Satan knows the difference between right and wrong.
That’s more than Mitch McConnell has done.
Good for him.
Mitch McConnell is eating pudding for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whatever he should have said before, he’s pretty unable (not to mention unwilling) to say it now.
Making this persecution so visible might be a matter of the Deep State sending a warning to the people of its power and willingness to use it...regardless of the law.
As some sheriffs in the old West used to say, "I am the law around here."
The whole world sees it.

It is his business. Every world leader has a right to opine, Putin even more so since we can't seem to 'mind our own business' and have engaged in a proxy war against his nation. Oh, and he's right. LOL --- LOL
Thank you for echoing our thoughts Mr. Putin.
(Navalny was a political opponent Putin had jailed, and who just got 19 more years added to his sentence last month).
The rest of the world is shocked at how quickly the United States is descending into dystopia.
Not even close to the Clinton Club.
“LOL - Mind your own business!”
Truth hurts?
The rest of the world is gleeful at our descent. the Chinese told Bidens minions in Alaska, the US has no position of strength to lecture others about democracy.
Pretty bad when Russia is calling your judicial system corrupt.
Breaking…..past the “developing” stage. Not quite at the “boom” or “bombshell” stage.
