Nixon's gang got jail time...we know..

40 members of his administration were convicted of crimes, most got jail time..All top aids and the Atty General of the United States spent time in jail.......partial list...

◾H.R. Haldeman and John Erlichman (White House staff), resigned 30 April 1973, subsequently jailed


◾John Dean (White House legal counsel), sacked 30 April 1973, subsequently jailed


◾John Mitchell, Attorney-General and Chairman of the Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP), jailed


◾Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy (ex-White House staff), planned the Watergate break-in, both jailed


◾Charles Colson, special counsel to the President, jailed


◾James McCord (Security Director of CREEP), jailed

As has been pointed out in the Original Post, Mueller is taking his time. There will be a list like this in a year or so. I just hope we will all be around to celebrate.
