Enter Now, The “Land Of The Lost…”

 I’m not sure whether John is showing his first, but clear, signs of early onset dementia — or whether he’s really this… cluelessly feckless. [It seems unfathomable that he actually believes his tripe.]

Yesterday, he  opined that it would more likely be left leaning terrorists (though his nonsense piece was couched more as ultimate facts, than opinions) that were the impetus for the able US DC (ED, VA) Judge Ellis to order US Marshall protection for himself and his family. Not MAGA nutters. There is no logical thread in that thought — none.

Uh-huh. Okay John — Manafort was Trump’s campaign chief. He is facing prison for the rest of his life, that fate now squarely in the jury’s hands. On a completed shit-ton of evidence, too. Overwhelming.

Unless, of course, Mr. Manafort (even post conviction  — and a conviction it will be), decides to flip on 45 and Jr.

Then Manafort might only do five to ten years.

And yet… John seems to think that an acquittal is so likely… that it is anti-fa people who might be threatening the able Judge Ellis (i.e., not threatening the jury — because the same very capable Judge hasn’t sequestered the jury, nor ordered protective services, for the 12).

So… Judge Ellis is going to toss a jury verdict? Based on being cranky, and grousing a little, from the bench — as he’s been wont to do, for his whole career?

C’mon, John. You know better than that, as a former courtroom lawyer.

Judge Ellis was giving the prosecution a hard time because he knows this is a lead pipe cinch conviction, and he wanted it done efficiently.

The only ones threatening the Judge, or the process, are Trump himself (and perhaps henchmen beholden to him) with Trump’s Manafort’s a “good man” comment — during jury deliberations — on national TV, about the trial’s subject, an indicted unregistered hostile foreign agent.

Trump is hinting at a pardon, and likely trying to intimidate the jurors.

But John inverts all that — the entire rational world, in fact — to say (on zero evidence) that the able Judge is afraid of leftists.

Insanity. Simple insanity.
