    Lol Nixon did get away with everything though? And the precedent is what has allowed Trump to trample on our laws.

      No he didn’t. Getting away with everything would have meant finishing his second term and retiring as a respected former president. That didn’t happen. You can’t say that he didn’t face consequences.

      Our laws for the highest offices are strongly worded recommendations, not absolutes. They’re going after trump’s businesses (which he’s lost) and him raping people (which he also lost). It doesn’t help that the r’s are backing him as much as they can.
