We can't make the kind of mistake we made with Nixon. Trump deserves fair trials. But, if he is convicted of serious charges, he must serve time. My latest for @thedailybeast. thedailybeast.com/trump-must-go-…
@djrothkopf @thedailybeast The late Archibald Cox, former Watergate prosecutor, agrees with you. Ford’s pardon of Nixon was a huge mistake. “Our legal system is based upon the ideal of equal justice under law. The rich and poor, the powerful and humble…should all be required to answer equally…”
@djrothkopf @thedailybeast If we want our ~250 year experiment with democracy to endure, election tampering must have consequences.
@djrothkopf @thedailybeast Anyone else would be held accountable. He has gotten away with everything in his life. He thinks he is above the law
@djrothkopf @thedailybeast Why would this be up for debate our country is country of laws If this is up for debate in some circles then you don't believe in this country at all, and you should leave immediately, probably same people who thought the DOJ should have guidelines on whether to do its job or not
@djrothkopf @OccupyOneLove @thedailybeast The deal was set when Spiro Agnew had to resign...Slander thingy....Nixon then behind the scenes picked Ford to " fill in VP" ....with the secret plan to " PARDON TRICKY DICK"...should it come to that.
@djrothkopf @thedailybeast Give him a fair trial and then hang the guilty SOB!!!
@djrothkopf @thedailybeast If he keeps it up he will rack up a ton of good time before he’s even sentenced
