Hmmm. Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon before he could be brought to trial. Neither George H. W. Bush nor Ronald Reagan faced real consequences for Iran-Contra despite being up to their necks in selling arms to Iran (supposedly our sworn enemy, and named as a state sponsor of terror to boot) to fund the Contras of Nicaragua in direct contravention of numerous laws. And no one has yet to pay for outing a CIA agent, putting operatives in the field in mortal peril, as an act of political retaliation during George W. Bush's administration. Scooter Libby (whose sentence was commuted by W, in any event) was convicted of obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI, likely as a way of protecting his boss from being held accountable for outing the aforementioned CIA agent.

Is the view from that high horse as lovely as it was a few minutes ago?
