    Well, I sure hope an exception is made for donnie, but it does seem like it is comparable - right wing POTUSes getting away with egregious crimes. It seems like the right keep amping up their crimes over the years - “Watergate” is shorthand for something truly scandalous, but the fact of the matter is that Iran/Contra was even worse than that, lying us into Iraq and then committing war crimes and spying on Americans is arguably worse than Iran/Contra and plotting a coup and throwing an insurrection is definitely even worse.

    The pattern I see is Republican Presidents getting away with more and more crimes with zero consequences, at least for themselves.

    I would love to see donnie Bin Laden imprisoned and break that pattern.
