Trump’s template to lock her upby digby
Trump’s threat to lock up a political enemy puts him in the company of authoritarian leaders around the world. That picture above is Paul Manafort’s old boss, former Ukrainian president Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych. The woman is former prime minisiter Yulia Tymoshenko, a heroine of Ukraine’s Orange Revolution, who Yanukovych jailed after she was convicted in 2009 over a gas deal she struck with Russia that was seen as “criminally exceeding her powers.” She served three years of her seven-year sentence.
That is what they do in places like Ukraine. And soon, maybe here too.
