33. This is about as shallow an analysis as one can make.

Nothing wrong with giving him a fair trial. Nothing at all.

He should get in line right behind the perjurers, banksters, and war criminals.

One of the charges against him is actually a property crime.

The Bill of Rights in the Constitution makes it very clear that he should get a pubic trial by jury.

He has the right to confront his accusers.

Let me say this again: He has the right to confront his accusers!

I honestly don't think that's possible now, under the current circumstances. There is just no way in hell that either he or his lawyers would be free to speak out if he were to find himself in US custody. He would be immediately and permanently silenced.

It's hard to believe there are members here who don't get it. They can't even face up to that simple fact. The fantasy world they live in is just surreal.

I'd love to be talked down from this viewpoint, but it would take a lot more than some recast promises about hope and change to convince me.

The whittling away of our civil rights is something that should be important to folks that participate in political discourse.
