Then there is the fact that everyone involved in the coverup got big-time promotions.
LBJ went from a vice-president under congressional criminal investigation to a president who would win the biggest re-election landslide since FDR in 1936.
Dan Rather and Bob Scheiffer went from being minor players on a Dallas network affiliate to national newsroom anchors.
Arlen Specter went from being a minor player in a Philadelphia law firm who represented such wonderful defendants as Ira Einhorn to a U.S. Senate seat.
J. Edgar Hoover went from being head of an FBI about to be ousted for his homosexuality to holding the position for the remainder of his life.
Gerald R. Ford went from being a minor congressman from Michigan's 5th district to becoming the first appointed President in U.S. history.
I could go on, but you get the idea. Those who cooperate with the Deep State are richly rewarded.
