Part 6/18:
This courtroom fiasco is symptomatic of a broader trend—weaponized legalism used as a political weapon. The entire operation is perceived as an effort by the Deep State and the Democrat power structures to eliminate their leading political opponent, not based on genuine evidence but by criminalizing his mere existence and influence.
