Government show trials occur too often, comparable in many respects to those in the old Soviet Union. Such actions have happened before our eyes and can happen again. They serve the purpose of populist politicians.
Example: Congress, a few years back,organized a union campaign against Toyota, which is non-union, in a huge show trial with the cameras and the finger pointing. Congressional allegations were made, when confused victims sometimes stepped on gas pedals instead of brakes, which jammed sensitive equipment. And occasionally high-tech equipment normally went bad.
Add to this, continued public on-the-carpet questioning of oil, banking and similar top CEOs. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
