From the link…

..”No American citizen in their right mind would trust the honesty and the objectivity of the American Judicial System at this time in history”, Sheehan said. “The reason he chose to go to the Soviet Union, and the reason he initially went to China….is because these are two of the only countries in the world in which you wouldn’t be able to assume that the US would send in black helicopter gunships…to try to arrest you.”

“This is not a trustworthy administration.”
