Re: "1. Nixon was distracted by Watergate." Well... that's one possible excuse why he might not have followed his legal responsibilities (I believe I already suggested it...) but WHY ON EARTH whould that have affected the actions of the Federal Prosecutor who actual responsibility it would have been to bring charges???????? "2. Treason is very hard to prove...requires two eyewitnesses willing to testify." Exactly. Not an 'easy' crime to prove in the American system (which explains why so FEW prosecutions have been brought in the past century or so....) Still without a prosecution and a conviction, all you are left with is political rhetoric, and your own personal opinion --- in America a man is presumed innocent until convicted of a crime.... "Anyone willing to testify against Kerry would have to have been in the same room and guilty of the same offense." Why in the world would you say that??????? (I thought the mere newspaper accounts --- confirmed by both parties in the 'Paris talks' to have happened, and MUCH reported on at the time --- were SUFFICIENT in your view to allege 'treason'? (Or, have you changed your view in this matter?) "Kerry's actions DO qualify for treason at least prima facie" Still... no charge, eh? (Perhaps this is not your area of the law?) "...we charged Tokyo Rose" As I understand, there were several individuals collectively referred to as 'Tokyo Rose'... one of whom later received a pardon and an apology for the mistaken prosecution and false testimony brought against her... and who recently died in Chicago (in her 'nineties), after living out the rest of her life in a very public role there, much beloved locally....
