Even with FDR, he essentially gave the group that attempted a coupé/assassination a slap on the wrist rather than what they should have gotten. What does that have to do with this conversation?

That’s literally what I am talking about. It’s a pattern that goes back to before either of us were here, but that we feel and see as a result.
