4. Thank you

for being so straight forward in describing this. I too lived through it and it is a source of great frustration for me how media types and others give such an incorrect skew to what took place and why. I have repeatedly said that the deal for Nixon to resign and be pardoned was not accountability by any stretch. He lived out his years in very luxurious surroundings in San Clemente with the best of everything. As you rightly point out we got Reagan/Iran-Contra and once again no real accountability. Because this keeps repeating we find ourselves here where they've figured out how to put an iron grip on elections with gerrymandering, voter suppression, propaganda hacks and foreign assistance. So now they know that they can come into office and commit unimaginable horrors and then just run out the clock by stonewalling. Nixon should have spent the rest of his life in a prison cell not walking the beach in the California sunshine.
