The Mueller-Trump Interview Is The Tolling Bell For the Trump Admin

89. Responsibility to the country

Would require for him to legally pursue all who engaged in criminal acts.

Two reasons for this:

First if the rich (including politicians) are not legally accountable, how can any American feel that the law should be obeyed. It sends the message: you are only a criminal if you are caught.

Second, if politicians continue to be above the law, politicians will continue to break the law. Perhaps if Nixon had not been pardoned for Watergate and Reagan had been prosecuted for Iran Contra, today's GOP would not feel so bold in breaking the law.

Legal punishment serves two purposes:

To punish the guilty for their actions.

To show that breaking the law has consequences.

If we want an honest democracy, both of these actions are necessary. Otherwise, our politics will continue to be dominated by criminals and democracy will have no meaning.
