Nixon committed treason (Chennault Affair) to get into the presidency, then abused his power to get re-elected. He was going to be impeached before he resigned, but then Ford pardoned him. That gave us Reagan, who committed treason to get put into office (Went behind the government's back with Iran and sold them weapons). Then he broke the law by funding right wing death squads in Central America (Iran-Contra). Nothing happened. That gave us W. Bush who got into office suspiciously then proceeded to get us into a war by lying, and committed war crimes. Nothing happened to Bush and Cheney, which led directly to Trump, with a two term Obama administration in between.
