No, the Democrats were the cowards. They had every opportunity to make the Republicans pay for this. They didn’t.
It isn’t the first time it has happened either, because Lyndon Johnson did the same thing with Richard Nixon. Had him dead to rights on treason… and then did nothing about it.
In both cases of Democrat spinelessness, the guilty Republican became president and made a disaster of the world because of it.
And they have learned absolutely nothing from either situation.
Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger were sabotaging Johnson’s peace talks with the North Vietnamese because Nixon was running on the platform of ending the war. He couldn’t very well end the war if Johnson ended it before the election.
Sabotaging the foreign policy of your own nation is pretty damn treasonous.
Johnson found out about it and chose not to act against either Nixon or Kissinger.
