Donald John Trump wants a "Show Trial".

He wants the biggest names on the venue. Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Ray. Only the best and the brightest.

Throw in Pam Bondi for a little blond glamor, and let the show begin.

Dershowitz is scheduled to speak for about an hour, introducing his thoughts about the Constitution and the definition of "abuse of power". It's supposed to be only a cameo. They would like him on a Friday, if possible.

Then, if the White House direction goes according to plan, they should be ready to end it by next weekend, giving Mr Trump appropriate time to prepare for his SOTU speech.

Mr Showman would like to be able to brag on his great attorneys, when it is all over.

Then, everyone can return to "normal".

How about the most washed up and bat-shit crazy? Of course, he can't tell the difference. What a total shit-show. This is such a joke.

I honestly can't believe this is really happening.

unfortunately, the American public seems to as well.

More dangerously, American Media eats it up as well. Great for ratings. Freedom? Meh, that's a quaint concept, but no real money in it.
