So you're saying we should all ignore the very, very obvious political angles here and trust that it's all about the rule of law, applied neutrally and apolitically?
Next you'll be telling us that a police officer would never lie on the stand.
- gpm 6y agoNo, I'm telling you that you should look at the public court process and conclude that it's the rule of law being applied, very little trust is necessary in this instance. Not requiring trust is the entire reason why we have such a public court process.
- free_rms 6y agoThis case is pretty irregular as far as rule of law goes. You just don't see executives imprisoned for corporate accounting shenanigans or trade with the wrong countries way down in their reporting chain. The laws are long and can capture anyone, why was this one brought to bear in particular, at this particular time? I suspect we have very different opinions on how frequently police lie on the stand.
