Sen. Durbin: What Trump Did 'Much, Much More' Than What Nixon Did

[someguy]

We need a law against willfully spreading disinformation. And those penalties need to be severe for members of Congress.

[bobbucks]

Subpoenas should be served with a swat team if they ignore them. Don't ask Barr or McCarthy, demand it.

[annemariedimola]

Good for the Judge in this case. More should follow the lead of this jurist. If the Judiciary doesn't punish these people we will have much more violence.

[rbbachrach]

The American People have had enough of this B.S. - this is draining on everybody. -ENOUGH - make these guys pay the consequences of their dirty deeds!

[jrblackstar]

They never should have placed a crime boss in office.

[melaniemarceaux]

Exactly. Watergate seems so minimal now.

[mlight]

Good leaders do not use fear to motivate their followers.

[pssthpok]

Traitors to the nation MUST be held accountable.

[BeaRobertsArtist]

Don't just 'make a record of it, DO something about it!!!!

[thefreedommovement]

I’m sorry sir, but why are you (and everyone else) acting like the GOP are a normal political party to be reasoned with? They should be in jail, not making law. Anything they make, I see as illegitimate and refused to follow

[aliciataylor]

Life in prison for Trump and his allies the Country and People need justice for these Traitors crimes.

[mariaazevedo]

Finaly, somebody with enough sense to make Trump and his cronies accountable for their own actions.🙂👍

[johnfircroft]

This is the kind of rational and logical Senator we need in Congress, not the so-called Democrats like Manchin and Sinema, and certainly not the largely worthless Republicons.

[kevinoffuttisagirl]

I wonder if that will catch on to our AG from Texas & ALL those senators that signed the Big Fat Lie Petition??!🤔

[DavidKerley]

The democrats need to stop being "worried" and grow a couple. Identify and indict these criminals.

[TimothyCollins]

"Coming together at this moment"... That's the problem. Reps have singular moments of clarity that slip away from them in seconds.

[williebrown]

So why is it taking so long to prosecute the ex president

[keithdmaust]

The profound difference between Nixon's presidency and now is that his supporters understood, were influenced and acted on the concept of shame.

[samboggs]

I think the political activist Abby Hoffman predicted this after Reagan was given a free pass for his involvement in Iran Gate.

[wilfriedholscher]

Accountability takes way too long in America. However, the charges have to sit with no room for errors. Trump has to be stopped before He starts the next Coup attempt.
