In The 1930's after Joseph Stalin won his power struggle for control of the Soviet Union over his rival Leon Trotsky. Stalin felt a need to fully consolidate his control of government. How do to that? Show trials. A series of trials were held in which those individuals or groups perceived as political rivals were put in the dock. Even the though the evidence and witnesses against the accused was tainted it mattered not. It was the spectacle that gave credence to the proceeding's allowing for the preordained outcome to be accepted.
For the last week there has been a trial in the U.S. Senate for the removable of Donald Trump from office except there's been no show or trial. One would think that Mitch McConnell having telegraphed the preordained outcome he would have at least put on a good show and provided phony evidence to help perpetuate the lie.
