79. A conviction of Nixon would have been enough for me,

just like for Spiro Agnew. Even without prison, a felony conviction with a huge fine might convince these mf's that they are done. But I would love to see TFG in prison, and he deserves it more than anyone in the public sphere, IMO. He got people killed, ruined lives, disabled people, and cheated others.
