Oh, FFS. When your right-hand is an Insane Criminal...
Can we just stop, already?
I had no idea that the people who I picked to run everything around me were insane criminals.
Nixon somehow just happened to be surrounded by Halderman, Erlichman, Mitchell (who ran his fucking campaign), Liddy...
Boo hoo. They all lied to me! I'm the real victim! How could I have known?
I'm Ronald Reagan. Somehow my entire security apparatus was doing insane criminal things—selling arms illegally to fund an illegal war. I somehow managed to apoint a series of insane criminals. Poor, poor me.
Oh noes!!1! Cheney, the guy I hand-picked to run the country, was torturing people?
What the fuck? If I built a political team there would be nobody on it who would do insane, criminal shit in an official capacity behind my back.
They might cheat on their spouse. Hell, they might take a bribe someday.
But they would not rat-fuck a city for the sheer fun of it. That is insane, depraved behavior in an official capacity.
And people who do that sort of thing are not doing it for the first time, in their 40s or 50s.
