Any trial involving enemies of the Chinese regime will be a show trial anyway.

VDH: ‘Civil War’ Porn.
The FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida home, the dubious rationale for such a historic swoop, and the popular pushback at the FBI and Department of Justice from roughly half the country have further fueled these giddy “civil war” conjectures.
Recently “presidential historian” Michael Beschloss speculated about the parameters of such an envisioned civil war.
Beschloss is an ironic source. Just days earlier, he had tweeted references to the executions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who passed U.S. nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union in the 1950s, in connection with the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
That was a lunatic insinuation that Trump might justly suffer the same lethal fate due to his supposed mishandling of “nuclear secrets.” Unhinged former CIA Director Michael Hayden picked up on Beschloss death-penalty prompt, adding that it “sounds about right.”
Hayden had gained recent notoriety for comparing Trump’s continuance of the Obama Administration’s border detention facilities to Hitler’s death camps. And he had assured the public that Hunter Biden’s lost and incriminating laptop was likely “Russian disinformation.”
So, like the earlier “Russian collusion” hoax, and the January 6 “insurrection,” the supposed right-wing inspired civil war is the latest shrill warning from the Left about how “democracy dies in darkness” and the impending end of progressive control of Congress in a few months.
On cue, Hollywood now joins the civil war bandwagon. It has issued a few bad, grade-C movies. They focus on deranged white “insurrectionists” who seek to take over the United States in hopes of driving out or killing off various “marginalized” peoples.
Read the whole thing.

WELL, THE TRUTH GETS OUT: Majority see FBI as Biden’s ‘personal Gestapo’ after Trump raid.
If you don’t want to be thought of as corrupt thugs, try not being corrupt thugs. That will get you farther than smarmy Merrick Garland talk of integrity.

THE MASK DROPS: Anti-Trump writer Sam Harris admits the media tried to swing election for Biden—and actually defends it.
Well-known writer and podcaster Sam Harris admitted in a recent interview what many on the Right have long suspected: When the Hunter Biden laptop story about questionable emails and overseas business dealings broke right before the 2020 presidential election, the media, Big Tech, and the intelligence community did everything they could to censor or dismiss it in order to improve Joe Biden’s chances against Donald Trump.
“Hunter Biden literally could have had the corpses of children in his basement, I would not have cared,” Harris recently told the Triggernometry podcast. “There’s nothing, it’s Hunter Biden, it’s not Joe Biden. Whatever the scope of Joe Biden’s corruption is…it is infinitesimal compared to the corruption we know Trump is involved in.”
“It’s like a firefly to the sun,” he added.
I actually appreciate Sam Harris for saying this out loud. This is what the vast majority of the anti Trump crowd believes, but most of them won’t say it. At least when it’s said, you can see it for what it is.pic.twitter.com/NmOqshoZlS

Further thoughts from John Nolte: Sam Harris Approves of Media Misinforming Voters to Stop Trump.
HARRIS: [Trump’s corruption] doesn’t answer the people who say it’s completely unfair to not have looked at the laptop in a timely way and to have shut down the New York Post’s Twitter account: ‘That’s a left-wing conspiracy to deny [Trump] his [second term].’ Absolutely it was! Absolutely! But I think it was warranted.
INTERVIEWER: You’re saying you’re content with a left-wing conspiracy to prevent somebody from being democratically reelected president.
Harris doesn’t say, No, that’s not okay. Instead, he argues that it was a conspiracy out in the open, so not really a conspiracy.
Sam Harris is one of those mercenary leftists who likes to stroke those on the right desperate for anyone on the left to agree with them about anything. So, yeah, he’ll say a few things we agree with. But at heart, he’s a fascist leftist. Just another scumbag willing to not only deceive you, but openly brag about his willingness to deceive you — laugh right in your face — to show off for his left-wing pals.
And Harris’s willingness to deceive you and laugh about deceiving you is not his only sin. He also lies about Trump’s “corruption” being a fact when he has been convicted of nothing, despite six years and billions of dollars aligned against him in the media, local and federal law enforcement, and all the impeachments and January 6 kangaroo courts.
Yesterday, Harris attempted to walk back what everyone heard with their lying ears: Sam Harris clarifies that clip where he says he wouldn’t have cared if Hunter Biden had children’s bodies in his basement.

ILYA SHAPIRO: What It’s Like When an Online Mob Goes after Your Job: The first four days were absolute hell, then I had a surreal zoom with Georgetown’s dean. “I survived that day, even after Georgetown Law Dean Bill Treanor put out a statement calling my tweets ‘appalling’ and mischaracterizing what I said as a ‘suggestion that the best Supreme Court nominee could not be a Black [very much sic] woman.'”
Bill Treanor really came out of this looking awful.

THE BUREAU USED TO CARE A LOT ABOUT ITS REPUTATION, ESPECIALLY WITH MIDDLE AMERICA. NOW IT DOESN’T CARE ANYMORE, IT SEEMS: THE FBI’S REPUTATION HAS CRATERED. “It seems shocking to say that the FBI is run by ‘politicized thugs’ who have turned the bureau into ‘Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo,’ but that is the way a little over half of all Americans now see the FBI. Nice going, James Comey and Christopher Wray!”
I wonder why it stopped caring?
