No Republican president has ever been held to account for their crimes or deceits and none ever will.
Nixon was never charged for his crimes but is the only president that had to leave office. Reagan/Bush who had their Iran/Contra affair pardoned everyone and were never held to account for what they did.

W. Bush brought this country to war in Iraq with lies and tortured people and was never held to account.

Every lie and every time they were allowed to get away with what they did, it tarnished the integrity of our justice system.

And the results of this? Today when the president tells the world the truth that Putin is maneuvering his army for attack against Ukraine, a big portion of the world doesn't believe us. Why should they?

It turns the stomach.
