And Nixon skated for blocking Vietnam peace in 1968 for personal advantage
And Reagan skated for conspiring with Iran to hold Americans for personal advantage

And you know GWB and Rove deleted about 2 million emails!



That said, I think people go to prison about this Russia stuff. Let's just make sure NOT to give Flynn immunity because we don't need another Ollie North to deflect blame from Reagan/Trump.

My op was kind of a 'buck stops here' moment.

I'm well aware of our horrendous system that rewards criminals in high places.

We need to start stopping it.

There must be real consequences, i.e., people going to prison for this. Otherwise, what won't anyone do to gain power in the future?

Of crooked bankers, financiers and white collar cons who did not go to jail, lose their ill gotten booty and who brought this country to the brink of economic collapse. I waited for them to pay,but almost none did. This was one of my disappointments in Obama.
