Please proceed, Mr. Trump. I’m sure there will be no problem with using the government’s law enforcement agencies to go after your political opponents. It’s always been just hunky-dory in the past {cough}Nixon{cough}.

One would hope that the DOJ and FBI would get involved if TRUMP does’t start doing HIS job.

Nixon’s Republican party didn’t own a propaganda “News” station to brainwash the rubes. Nor did he provide a huge tax cut to the corporations that own other media outlets.
