Crucially missing in this case: a corpus delicti.

Why does this case trigger so many concurrent thoughts about Russia and Navalny? Thank you for your very clear summation. The ideal certainly is justice is blind. But as you clearly point out, the reality is often it is not. Yet at least we have some degree of transparency, and ability to expose corruptions of those fundamental ideals.

This case has not yet dropped into the "sudden adult death" file. But equally disturbing is the financially ruinous demands imposed when "the state" decides to weaponize its power against a single individual.

what’s going on here? Trump is the first President to be dragged through the courts during an election season, while Biden is the first sitting President to be declared legally incompetent to stand trial for taking state secrets home while he was Vice President…it’s as if all of our government’s institutions are aligned against Trump…

The Silent War continues…
