Um no. Nixon's GOP would have impeached Nixon if he had not stepped down. They should have done it anyway and Nixon should have been charged with facilitation for giving the orders for the Watergate break in. Even Nixon didn't weaponize the DOJ or try to hide behind his office when he new he was caught.
Trump on the other hand is weaponizing his supporters against the law. He is undermining our institutions and poisoning potential jury pools as well as inciting his base to harass and threaten prosecutors and judges as well as attempting to influence witnesses.
Biden literally has no control over state DAs or state grand juries.
Grand Juries are randomly selected as a lottery system and the jury pool office does not ask or know the political party leanings of the summons of the people they send the summons to. Trump was indicted by those people. And based on warrants issued by judges, not Biden. Warrants based on probable cause and collections of evidence that law enforcement has to bring in front of a judge, before the judge approves it to go to a grand jury.
Biden didn't do this to Trump, Trump did this to himself. There are no "the two sides are equal" in this case.
Good to see you again!
