    Jeet Heer Retweeted The Hill

    I just wrote a column about how Trump's corruption was enabled not just by the misdeeds of previous presidents but also the Obama administration failure to hold Bush administration accountable for its crimes. So I'm grateful for the additional evidence.https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1275808827326201856 …

        Elizabeth Warren has a plan to hold trump and his gang of criminals accountable. We must insist on it being implemented. @ewarren

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        My biggest disappointment with Obama was his "look forward" approach when he took office, but I also understand the massive financial meltdown he faced, the sensitive racial dynamics of being the first AA POTUS, and a host of other contextual disclaimers.

        To be clear, there should have been massive investigations of W and his cronies to stamp out this kind of criminal behavior. Obama has a (semi-laudable) weakness of assuming good faith in the GOP, which attitude was rewarded with obstruction and hostility.

        It goes all the way back to pardoning Nixon, and spreads through to no prosecutions over the financial crisis. We havent held those at the top accountable for a long time. American "justice" is a sham

        Isn't there, historically, a convention that, unlike much of the world, US administrations, while happy to vilify their predecessors, rarely prosecute them?

        I block the Hill. Can’t you find a reputable place to publish your columns?

        The addition evidence he cites is a video on The Hill; his own column is published in The Nation.
