American Show Trial: A Modern Miscarriage of Justice
“We realize now that the public trials were only the surface indications of the mole’s tunnel, and that all the main digging lay beneath the surface.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The trial and conviction of former President Donald Trump concerning alleged hush-money payments during the 2016 presidential campaign has ignited a firestorm of debate about the fairness and impartiality of the American judicial system. Legal experts and laymen from both ends of the political spectrum argue that the trial was not about justice, but was a politically motivated process designed by Democrats to punish and oppress a powerful and popular political opponent.
There are chilling similarities between the Trump hush-money trial and the infamous Stalin-era Soviet show trials — both are stark examples of predetermined persecution of political foes, motivated exclusively by a partisan agenda, nearly devoid of due process and lacking the hallowed hallmarks of justice.
