Representative public comments
Thank you for bringing this topic to a wider audience on 60 minutes. American democracy is essential and its’ erosion cannot continue any longer or it may very well cascade to other weaker democracies. Following you closely. Thank you.
When a president uses the power of pardon to shield someone whose actions may overlap with his own circle, or whose fall could expose deeper wrongdoing, that shakes the very foundation of what America is supposed to stand for:
So Mr President didn’t do his own research and relied on what “they” said.
I wonder if you will be happy when your neighbor is a robot with a job and you do not have one.
This is truly beneath the office of the presidency. This is so blatant, it’s impeachable.
Chess Boxing deserves to be on 60 minutes.
