🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'It’s Not Just Trump — LBJ Took Classified Documents Too'

11 August 2022 - kudos:

I was not aware of this episode of history, and I feel more informed for it. It’s an example of where a Democratic president should be held to the same standard as Trump is being held right now—not out of any kind of whataboutism, but because both presidents crossed lines. In fact, “both” isn’t right here: Nixon comes out of this looking as bad as (if not worse than) Johnson.
