    Jeet Heer Retweeted Larry O'Connor

    "Richard Nixon was railroaded" is even better than "Al Capone was railroaded" as a pro-Trump argument.https://twitter.com/LarryOConnor/status/1037539642231468032 …

    Last time DC was obsessed with an anonymous figure thwarting a GOP president it was "Deep Throat." Spoiler alert: He was a disgruntled, high-ranking FBI official who used his power to undermine a POTUS he didn't like. Sound familiar?

        Agnew and the AG are almost literally the only people who actually suffered consequences in the Nixon admin, which was beaten by Reagan where even the man who fell on his sword for Iran-Contra still has a career in right wing punditry

        Were any of the defendants in anti-trust cases on the Gilded Age railways railroaded as well?

        You have been falling for dead end stories since @POTUS first got elected. From one to the next you have hung on to each one of the unsubstantiated nonsense stories created to keep you hanging on. HODl on.
