After his historic guilty verdict in his hush money case, Donald Trump attacked the U.S. criminal justice system, making unfounded claims of a “rigged” trial that echoed remarks from the Kremlin.
“If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone,” Trump said Friday, speaking from his namesake tower in New York on Friday. Thousands of miles away, Russian President Vladimir Putin was probably “rubbing his hands with glee,” said Fiona Hill, a former senior White House national security adviser to three U.S. presidents, including Trump.
Hill and other analysts say Trump’s attacks could be useful to Putin and other autocrats as they look to boost their standing among their own citizens, potentially sway the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
The attacks on the U.S. justice system from Trump and his allies are “perfect fodder” for another “major propaganda and influence operation,” Hill told The Associated Press, suggesting Russia could target swing voters in battleground states ahead of the November election.
For generations, U.S. presidential administrations have depicted America as a bastion of democracy, free speech and human rights and have encouraged other states to adopt those ideals. But Trump suggested the justice system is being used to persecute him — something that happens in some autocratic countries.
Trump sees himself as a “strongman ruler” and looks to Putin for inspiration, Hill said. His attacks encourage any nation — from those with a mild gripe to the openly hostile — to “have their moment to bring down the colossus,” Hill said.
“For Putin it must be perfect because it creates a mess that he can try to seek advantage from,” Hill said.

Getting very old and boring.
The AP acting as apologists for the existing regime is helpful to Putin.
AP is rancid cesspool of lies not worth one second of attention
Well then AP, you pieces of sh*t, don’t applaud when a former President is railroaded if you’re so concerned.
Consider the twisted source. Not worth the time.
Its the AssPress, what else can you expect.
Gleeful the our justice system is emulating his own.
Putin just needs to convene the Duma to change their Constitution to whatever he pleases. No need for US legal shenanigans.
Trump is not attacking “the criminal justice system,” he is attacking a rogue judge and DA for an unprecedented attack on a former president using phony charges that can barely be explained. It is the LEFT that has been attacking the criminal justice system for at least six years: defund the police, close the jails, eliminate cash bail, decriminalize crimes against property, and all the rest.
Limey bitch and Soros tool:

At first this appeared like an article from the Bee.
Hey look - the crap deep-state propaganda machine has managed to link Stormy Daniels, Trump and, of course, Putin!
Imagine that!?
In sum, she was a co-conspirator to the whole Russia-gate scam, corruption of America's governing institutions, and push towards WWIII
If there is justice in this world, her life will end in prison or hanging from a lamppost somewhere.
In fact Putin has previously chimed in about it.
Putin is looking at this and I guarantee he understands perfectly what is going on. He knows something about eliminating political enemies. I’d love to hear his take on it.
