A big difference between being Trump and working for him

Alternet  -    Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner issued a reminder to those working on behalf of President Donald Trump that when former President Richard Nixon broke several laws, he may have been pardoned, but his accomplices were not.

"History often repeats itself and in one respect, I sure hope it does. After the Watergate scandal, 48 of Richard Nixon's goons were convicted of crimes and 30 of them went to prison. But you know what? Before they got caught, before they were prosecuted, before they were held accountable, they thought they were untouchable," Kirschner explained.

Trump, as his Justice Department announced this week, is setting up a fund to dole out money to people who believe they were victimized by the Department of Justice. Kirschner explained the emboldened allies of Trump are not unlike those in the Nixon regime who believed that they were "untouchable."
