Did you know Nixon never served a day in prison because he was pardoned?
But his Attorney General did.
His Chief of Staff did.
His Domestic Affairs Adviser did.
His Special Counsel did.
His campaign chairman did.
Even members of his re-election committee did time.

And to add to the Trump madness, he's given the go ahead for the Qatari Air Force to build a base in Idaho.

WTF?

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
