Here ya’ go

And I agree 100%.

There seems to be an unwritten code in this country that our country’s leaders cannot really be held to account for crimes, as though it would embarrass us or reduce our standing in a way that failure to prosecute the criminals would not. They can be vilified, slandered, and mocked, but actual prosecution for anything subdtantial is out of the question. Even the Clinton impeachment was based not on actual criminality but on a facetious political game.
When Richard Nixon took office in 1969, he immediately became privy to everything the Johnson administration had done and said, and not done, about the Vietnam War, more than enough to put Johnson and his henchmen in prison. He had it within his power to reveal all this, declare the situation hopeless, blame the Democrats, and shut down the war. Instead, though, he had to press on, trying to make a silk purse out of LBJ’s pig’s ear and seeking “peace with honor.” He ended up sharing the blame with LBJ.
