A New York judge famously said a good prosecutor could “get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich”. Should Donald Trump be sincere in saying the 95-year-old George Soros is a bad man who belongs in jail, a flimsy indictment can surely be arranged. It is worth pondering that last line. Any doubts that the US Department of Justice is Trump’s private revenge vehicle were dispelled last week with James Comey’s indictment. Prosecution of the former FBI director was publicly demanded by Trump. A season of Washington show trials may now be getting under way.
一位紐約法官曾言，優(yōu)秀的檢察官甚至能“讓大陪審團(tuán)起訴一份火腿三明治”。如果唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)真心認(rèn)為95歲的喬治?索羅斯(George Soros)是個(gè)該坐牢的壞人，一份站不住腳的起訴書當(dāng)然安排得出來。值得玩味的是最后那一句。上周，隨著詹姆斯?科米(James Comey)遭到起訴，關(guān)于美國司法部(US Department of Justice)是否成了特朗普私人報(bào)復(fù)工具的疑慮已被打消。對(duì)這位美國聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局(FBI)前局長的起訴是特朗普公開要求的。華盛頓的一季作秀式審判或許正要拉開帷幕。
