From today’s Judicial Watch press release (see post#2)
“These new documents dramatically show how the Justice Department is up to its neck in the IRS scandal and can’t be trusted to investigate crimes associated with the IRS abuses that targeted Obama’s critics. And it is of particular concern that the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section, which would ordinarily investigate the IRS abuses, is now implicated in the IRS crimes. No wonder the Department of Justice under Eric Holder has done no serious investigation of the Obama IRS scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “It is shameful how Establishment Washington has let slide by Obama’s abuse of the IRS and the Justice Department. Only as a result of Judicial Watch’s independent investigations did the American people learn about the IRS-DOJ prosecution discussions of Obama’s political enemies and how the IRS sent, in violation of law, confidential taxpayer information to the FBI and DOJ in 2010. Richard Nixon was impeached for less.”
First of all Nixon was not impeached. He had the honor, the good grace and the character to avoid the resulting stress to the Republic.
And Yes, Nixon's transgression was many orders of magnitude less traumatic to the Republic and disdainful to its Constitution than the Kenyan imposter, and his "Fundamental Transformation..." thing.
No, actually, Nixon wasn't impeached. He resigned.
