The Star Chamber’s Chief Lawyer Remarks on the Proceedings Against Donald J. Trump

A grotesquely true satire, only the part about physically meeting the star chamber ghost is made up.

I was in lower Manhattan this week, at the storied but always very dirty Criminal Courts complex. It has always seemed to me that the very architecture of the building, its persistent gray tinged hue throughout, the graffiti on the bathroom doors, the seemingly ancient floors and walls, scrubbed to dingy perfection, the failing file cabinets, all of it, is part of the humiliation which some bureaucratic overlord feels must be permanently maintained.  Franz Kafka was probably here once, if not physically, at least in spirit.
