re: #50 Dangerman (misuser of the sarc tag)

like i wrote, that electoral-vote.com wrote yesterday - five big parallels between nixon/watergate and trump, aside from paranoia and psychopathy

- Republican politicians launching a full-out assault on someone who is a veteran and a dedicated public servant with a spotless record (ellsberg), just to cover for the bad behavior of a Republican president

weeellll…

Yeah, Ellsberg’s record was spotless right up until he committed major-league felonies. Nobody was making that up about him.

He was willing to pay the price; he absolutely understood that by his actions he was signing himself up to spend the rest of his life in prison. He did it anyway because he thought it was worth it.

(He never anticipated, nobody could have anticipated, that the govt would commit such egregious prosecutorial misconduct the whole case had to be thrown out.)
