When one is caught cheating that usually means the game itself is called into question, unless cheating is part of the game itself, then it's anyone's guess what exactly can be called into question. A major witness in the US case against Julian Assange, an paid FBI informant, has told Stundin, an Icelandic Journal, he lied for the FBI against Julian Assange. My question is: Will it even matter? I highly doubt it.
You see, part of rigging a trial - the fun part - is the audacity of being transparent. Those who've read Kafka's "The Trial" remember that when they finally came for K, his assassins not only stabbed him with knife, but took pleasure in "twisting the knife".
This is "twisting the knife".
Those who rigged a show trial - don't care you know. Because that's what authoritarians do.
Primarily because they know you can't do a damn thing about it. Rig trials, rig elections, rig primaries, rig it all. What's the big deal?

They insert the knife, then they twist it. Hard.
