    Nah, this is more akin to the Gleichschaltung. The Night of the Long Knives was the Nazis purging their own.

      I disagree- I think Gleichschaltung has been underway since day one. This is a much more heinous overstep of the executive branch, imo

        Gleichschaltung took a bit of time for the nazis.

        The Night of the Long Knives is only applicable if the judge herself were a nazi who is seen as a potential threat due to being slightly differently aligned than the main faction.
