Rewind the tapes. Nixon was guilty as sin, they not only let him turn over his own evidence, parts of which were missing, (Just like Hillary), they didn't charge him with any crime either, he didn't have to testify at hours and hours of hearings. And, in the end, they let him walk and even 'pardoned' him.
Don't get me started on the Bushes, Clintons, etc. That one of their member is even being considered for higher office again is insane. This country is going to get everything it deserves.

I completely respect that position. It is a very improbable situation but not impossible. It has happened before in US history. If not for that fact I would say impossible.

It's happened before? Please, do tell us when the last former First Lady turned Secretary of State was indicted, tried, and convicted of treason.

People have been executed in the US for treason. That was my only point. We are suppose to be a country of equals so going off of that those laws and determinations would apply to anyone. It would not matter who they were. Treason is treason. I think you are saying that some people are better than others and would not be subjected to it by you saying "first lady" as if they are above it.

Nixon was President. She is not on that level.

Also nobody else who had a personal server that circumvented the whole secure Federal email system and ignored every FOIA request either. It's a very unique situation. She didn't play ball outside the lines. She played ball on a completely different field and made up her own unique rules.

You can think whatever you want about what I might "really" be saying. Pro-tip: stick to what I actually said, it'll be a lot easier on your brain. What I said was in response to your notion that this has "happened before." There has never been a person so deeply rooted into the political landscape of the country for three decades, and held the positions she's held, that's ever been put on trial for treason, much less executed for it.
I'm not responsible for what you hear. I'm only responsible for what I say.
