Nixon = Evidence

Trump = No Evidence

Making up charges isn’t reality and the left is in high speed mode of making them up.

By rights the Biden crime family should be in prison by now democrat party mum in cover up mode.

Easy, Nixon had an “(R)” after his name, and he was by far the worst Republican President ever (Genuflected to the ChiComs, killed the gold standard, introduced OSHA and the EPA, ..).

The answer to the question is that Ford pardoned Nixon to save the country from what it is now going through.

America was still great then, or at least pretty good.

If Trump had immunity as president, then why did Nixon need a pardon?

What does reality have to do with anything? Nixon had a collection of backstabbing Republican Rinos who would convict him if it went to the Senate, and so *BECAUSE* those Rino backstabbers would convict him, he needed a pardon.

But did he do anything wrong? No. No he did not.

The fact Ford *could* pardon Nixon underscores the point of Presidential immunity.

Just like Donald Trump, Richard Nixon was totally framed by the Military Industrial Complex, or Deep State, or whatever you want to call it.

There are three differences that put Nixon in worse jeopardy than Trump:

1) There was no alternative media to speak of. The propaganda machine was 100% in control of the narrative in 1973.

2) Nixon left office deep in debt, whereas Trump has money.

3) Trump has immense brass balls. Nixon had decent sized balls but nothing like Trump’s. Nobody has balls like Trump.

That is because only a Democrat President has immunity.

Because Nixon was actually going to be Impeached and Removed, at which point he could be tried.

That’s right. It was the threat of impeachment that caused him to resign. Bill Clinton was the first wrong doer who actually doubled down on it and beat the trial after he was impeached.

For one reason-The Break-in at the Watergate was NOT part of his Duties and responsibilities as President. His Plumbers were violating the law by Breaking in to DNC HQ.
The Crime he committed was the coverup.
That and to end the BS was why he was pardoned.
