Nixon resigned, and was pardoned. Many of the conspirators were convicted and served prison time.

With Reagan and Iran-Contra, Reagan was never charged, most officials were pardoned, and only one person served any jail time.

With Bush (43) there were no consequences for any of it. Not he war under false pretenses, not the domestic spying, not the torture.

And with Donald Trump (45) a single judge recently appointed by Donald Trump held up legal proceedings until he was elected President, again.

> Nixon resigned, and was pardoned.

Yes. That's deeply bad precedent.

Roger Ailes founded Fox News, explicitly, to avoid a recurrence of even that minimal level of consequence.
