Exactly. But any "accused" has the right to presumption of innocence after
indictment and can prevent the jury from hearing any hearsay evidence before
the trial. If necessary the jury can be sequestered to prevent such
inadmissible evidence from tainting their opinions. This whole procedure is
a farce.

So are you saying the president does not deserve to be treated like any
other American citizen? That we can convict him in the press on hearsay
evidence. If he defends himself, he can be fined the cost it takes to
railroad him without a trial? And who, pray tell, is Cato?

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
