Thousands of judges in thousands of courtrooms can't all be completely bought and corrupted, but they can try.
At least the DS have to acknowledge the show trial, which means they fear something from public scrutiny to even mount such an act of theater.
Political perps are committing gross and grotesque criminal acts and treasons too numerous to count on a daily basis, to the extent that legal solutions to catch up with all of them are essentially nullified in the bog slow and expensive parallel universe of the 'legal system'.
Weaponizing the Current Thing: Biden's Ministry of Truth & its origins
Far from tackling foreign disinformation, the DHS is targeting domestic dissent.
trust us, we're the truth ministry!
said no one trustworthy. ever.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Department of Homeland Security has formed the Disinformation Governance Board to bravely combat incorrect opinions on the internet. According to sources, the board's Executive Director Nina Jankowicz has appointed Hunter Biden to sit on the board for a salary of $50,000 per month.
"We are proud to welcome Hunter to our Ministry of Tr-- um, our Disinformation Governance Board," said Jankowicz. "As the victim of a Russian disinformation campaign that claimed his laptop held evidence of horrific sexual crimes and international corruption resulting in tens of millions of dollars being funneled to the Biden family, he is uniquely equipped to speak to these issues."
The President's son will be paid a salary of $50,000 per month. His appointment has caused several prominent conservatives to cry foul, claiming the deal and the entire board itself seem "gross", "creepy", and "corrupt."
The Disinformation Governance Board dismissed the criticism as "dangerous disinformation."
Did The Bee call it or did they call it?
Reminder, this is the fake satire headline:
Government Disinformation Board Determines All Criticism Of Government Disinformation Board To Be Disinformation
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In its first official act, the new DHS Government Disinformation Board ruled today that all criticism of the Government Disinformation Board is disinformation. This comes in response to sharp criticism from conservatives, which they say is untrue and unwarranted. 'The new board has barely begun its work and already many have j ...

And here's the very real headline:
Mayorkas cites misinformation about Homeland Security's disinformation board
He says the comparisons to George Orwell's "1984" are wrong.

Yes, Mayorkas, within 2 days, fulfills The Babylon Bee prophecy that government would say that all criticisms about the board are false.

What is a "disinformation expert"?
Does it require a particular degree? Is there some licensing board or official certification issued? What credentials, scholarship or accomplishments are needed to justify someone being lavished with this pompous label?
It's a bullshit fraud.
Indeed, the concept of “anti-disinformation expert” is itself completely fraudulent. This is not a real expertise but rather a concocted title bestowed on propagandists to make them appear more scholarly and apolitical than they are. But the function of this well-funded industry is the same as the one served by the pre-election letter from “dozens of former intelligence officials": to discredit dissent and justify its censorship by infusing its condemnation with the pretense of institutional authority. The targeted views are not merely wrong; they have been adjudged by official, credentialed experts to constitute "disinformation.”
This scam is the critical context for understanding why the Biden Administration casually announced last week the creation of what it is calling a "Disinformation Board” inside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). There is no conceivable circumstance in which a domestic law enforcement agency like DHS should be claiming the power to decree truth and falsity. Operatives in the U.S. Security State are not devoted to combatting disinformation. The opposite is true: they are trained, career liars tasked with concocting and spreading disinformation.
Do you know who the greatest propagator of disinformation in the history of the world is? The U.S. government.
Are you familiar with McNamara? The Pentagon Papers? Are you familiar with George W. Bush and the weapons of mass destruction? Are you familiar with Iran-contra?

Talking about the deep state and things like that which is a thread among conspiracy communities here in the United States, that there is this secret cabal here in Washington working to undermine the American people couldn’t be further from the truth, as someone who works with and around these public servants every day.
Whatever one thinks of the precise term “deep state,” Nina badly wants everyone to dismiss the very concept of secret groups operating within Washington. She works “with and around” them after all, and she says such a cabal or network of cabals does not exist.
In fact, Nina does know the truth, and it’s the opposite of what she claims above. Nina’s name appeared in one of the most explosive and aggressively censored national security leaks of the century. The leak in question exposed the “Integrity Initiative,” a dark government-funded NGO that appears to have engaged in political meddling and covert influence operations in Western countries under the guise of fighting “disinformation.”
Founded in mid-2015 under the auspices of the U.K. government-funded NGO “Institute for Statecraft,” the Integrity Initiative boasted a precociously fashionable motto: “Defending Democracy Against Disinformation.”
The Integrity Initiative “defended democracy” by recruiting secretive “clusters” of academics, national security bureaucrats, journalists, think tankers, and lobbyists in multiple European countries. These clusters would then be engaged in various ways to address nation-specific threats of so-called “Russian disinformation.”
In its organization, funding, operation, structure, and rhetoric the Integrity Initiative is the single best template for understanding how the entire hornets’ nest of NGOs, journalists, and “national security” bureaucrats work secretly and in concert to wage psychological warfare against citizens of the West. One cannot understand how the Disinformation Industry functions without understanding the little-known (and now defunct) Integrity Initiative.

“Its leader came under online attack”!
So we are supposed to feel sorry for a Department of Homeland Security official who was tasked by the federal government to censor dissent? It’s our fault that we object to it?

It's a cause of momentary celebration that the Department of Homeland Security was forced by popular anger to "pause" its Disinformation Board and the absurd #Resistance cartoon they hired to run it, but read this to see how angry WPost and @TaylorLorenz are that this happened:

Their plan was a colossal failure. They accomplished nothing, and managed to severely expose themselves in the process. All the Biden admin did was admit they are Orwellian, Unconstitutional, and Fascist. Which amplified their own malfeasance, helped spread truth and awareness more, and now are stuck with egg on their faces.
Their incompetence is SOOO bad, I’m more inclined to believe this is a controlled internal demolition of the DNC, rather than believe they are this inept and self destructive.
Either scenario, we win. But holy hell I have a hard time believing these people are THIS stupid.
