This whole article is well worth reading. In essence, the fear of prosecuting a president/leaders of our government has resulted in moral atrocities going unpunished and encouraging the next round of moral atrocities. Impunity is a powerful lure, especially to Republicans apparently. Nixon's GOP election team convinced South Vietnam not to sign a peace treaty before the election, just so that Nixon could win, the war could go on for 6 more years and 20,000 more Americans could die. Johnson knew that Nixon had committed treason and yet "for the good of the country" chose to sweep it under the rug rather than bring him to justice. And then for the same stupid reasons, and to protect the GOP, Ford pardoned Nixon before he could be prosecuted for the travesty of Watergate!

That led to Reagan's GOP election team working out a deal with Iranians to hold onto the hostages until after the election so that Reagan could defeat Carter. Then Reagan's administration, you remember Oliver North-nutjob, and the Iran-contra affair, arranged to illegally sell weapons to Iran so they could illegally funnel the proceeds to the contras. Again, rather than prosecuting them, the prevailing wisdom was America couldn't handle such a scandal, so most of it was swept under the rug and impunity reigned again.

All of this then led to Bush lying us into a needless war in Iraq, with hundreds of thousands dead and yet no punishment for any of the people who orchestrated that atrocity! How could we be surprised that Trump would attempt to steal the election, after all, no one ever gets punished for these crimes if they are president. Needless to say, it is way past time for an end to impunity and a boatload of justice and punishment!

"Donald Trump has been indicted. My new hero, the courageous D.A., Alvin Bragg, has ignored all the fatuous blather about “whether this is good for the country” or whether “it might boost Trump.” What happened is that an amoral, psychopathic scumbag and career criminal broke the law, and now he’ll be held accountable. If convicted, he’ll have to pay, just like we would.

I’ve been waiting for this moment for 55 years, since 1968. That was the year that Richard Nixon won the presidency by committing treason... Check out the full article at link...

I had a dream last night that rump was in a packed courtroom as the judge sentenced him to 7 years in prison. People were shocked, joyous, eyes wide, jaws dropped, rising to their feet, cheering, applauding. You could hear cheers from the crowd outside as he was led out, head down, shoulders slumped. And I knew there were other trials coming that would result in additional years. It was glorious, and I'm going to hold on to those images as long as I can. #TrumpLifelongCriminal #ProsecuteTrump
