Covington said on Jim Giles' show last summer that he didn't care if Steele was guilty or not, because the government had no legitimacy and therefore lacked the authority to try him. That's a really sane and pragmatic attitude, right? (My thought at the time: Covington owes his life to the government, because without the protection of its laws somebody would have killed him long ago.)

Since then he has been pandering to those who believe in the frame-up story. He has been talking about the case on his show every week, and as you might expect he very often gives a twisted account of events.

The frame-up and railroading interpretation of the case fits in very well with the paranoia and extreme posturing that Covington promotes. If they're going to frame you and railroad you then you might as well become an outlaw. That's what Covington is promoting.

Cui bono? People have been asking that for decades.
