Trial set to begin for Wisconsin judge accused of helping immigrant evade federal authorities
Story by TODD RICHMOND • 8h

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Federal prosecutors were set to start presenting their case Monday against a Wisconsin judge accused of helping a Mexican immigrant evade federal authorities.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan's trial on obstruction and concealment charges was scheduled to begin with opening statements from prosecutors and defense attorneys followed by testimony from the government's first witnesses.
 
The prosecution's case is expected to run through at least Thursday, with roughly two dozen witnesses lined up to take the stand. Dugan's attorneys have not said how much time they need and it's unknown when jurors might begin deliberations. She faces up to six years in prison if convicted on both counts.

The trial is the latest flashpoint in President Donald Trump's sweeping immigration crackdown. The administration has branded her an activist judge. Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, a fierce Trump loyalist running for Wisconsin governor next year, urged authorities to “lock her up” in a tweet Tuesday.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

I wonder if she'll take the stand.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

If the trial is in Madtown there won't be a conservative in the jury pool.  She'll skate.
