"But the farce shouldn’t obscure the gravity—perhaps the purest instance of totalitarian abuse of the Trump years: the government cast a private citizen with no quarrel with Trump and no connection to the pool as the villain of a fiction, and moved to put him in prison for years."

Hypothesis: The Rest of World cannot, yet, launch an effective boycott of Donald Trump. He has weapons. He snatches political leaders with impunity. He shuts down banking. He might win. But Gianni Infantino? A far easier target.
