I think a show trial is when "everyone" knows and accepts that the person charged is actually guilty - and are used to send a message. Many, said that a civilian trial came with risks, but people in this administration assured us that the "Gitmo show trials" (my words) would go as expected. Wasn't that the message you heard, even if you don't call them "show trials"?
