Hey all, Glenn Kirschner here. So friends, the reason you hear me but don’t see me (in this video) is because I’m recovering from a minor medical procedure and I’m taking a couple of down days to recover, so I won’t be doing a video today. But I do want to post something about how and why I believe accountability will come for Trump and his criminal associates.
During the Watergate crime spree, Richard Nixon’s executive branch goons probably felt invincible – beyond the reach of the law – as they were committing crimes with and for the benefit of a corrupt and criminal president. And when Richard Nixon fell from power, 48 of his goons were criminally convicted and 30 went to prison.
Presently, Donald Trump’s goons, his criminal associates in his corrupt executive branch, are committing crimes together with and for the benefit of Trump. And Trump’s goons probably feel invincible, like THEY are beyond the reach of the rule of law. But when Trump falls from power, they will be held accountable, just as Nixon’s goons were held accountable.
Interestingly, when Nixon’s criminal associates were prosecuted, nobody asserted it was “weaponization of the Department of Justice.” It was simply holding a president’s criminal associates accountable for their crimes.
So I think we should focus less on numbers like 86 47, and focus more on numbers that have historical significance and importance: 48 30.
Friends I hope to get back to making daily Justice Matters videos soon, but in the meantime, I’d like to post this highlight reel of our last Team Justice gathering, where we focused on and even celebrated the rule of law, the Constitution and accountability. Because justice matters.
Shout out to Cris Palomino for the “48 30” graphic.
