Carter 1

I think it is 50+ years since Nixon came into office in 1969.

that's 215 "counts", not the number of people indicted. Even still, the amount of people indicted and total indictments is crushingly in favor of republicans. The facts show that republicans are basically criminals.

And then THEY’RE the ones with all the law-breakers.

How ‘bout that.

Who's tired of his winning? I guess he'll continue to be winning when him and his children are also indicted! Can't wait for that to happen!

They'd capture a lot of them, whether elected or otherwise. Lobbyists, NRC, maybe a Koch, DeVos, Prince, etc ...

They'd have to empty the prisons to fit them all in.

I can dream, can't I? Donald, Moscow Mitch behind bars ....

is “greatly exaggerated” for Trump admin indictments, as are the numbers for Nixon admin indictments.

They assert that the number for Democratic admins *is* correct, however.

Let’s be careful to adhere to facts.

This came up with friends last week when Bannon was indicted. Forbes magazine and another media (can’t remember which) put the number of INDICTMENTS - WITH Bannon - at EIGHT (excluding the Russians via Robert Mueller.)

I added one more to get nine because I consider impeachment the same as an indictment.

So who the hell are the other 206...?

I suspect Forbes is limiting itself to high profile, working int he White House. This chart is looking at the entire administration. You can always check George's source ink for more details.

We need a presidential crimes commission with the power to publicize every crime the president does in office all the evidence. Let the people decide...
If presidential crimes go past 3.. impeachment and removal. Period.
