Will Trump's misadministration surpass Nixon's in indictments and jail ?

[jaysunb]

Here's the Nixon record. ( followed closely by Reagan )

Criminal indictments 76
Convictions 55
Jail time 15 ( including the Attorney General )

Some people should be rethinking their plans for the near future.

1. They also have a chart of criminal prosecutions in each Administration

If you had to guess, since Nixon, which party on average had the most criminal convictions in each administration? I'll give you a hint - it's not even close.

2. Trump probably won't see that numbers that high just because he has less time

in office and hasn't even bothered to staff up yet. Nixon was into his 5th (?) year and he had a full staff of eager henchmen willing to do anything, including break the law.

3. I think this is correct

I also think Trump won't inspire the same loyalty. People will roll on him for reduced crimes.

4. Fewer convictions but worse crimes and longer sentences

With the caveat that convictions for WH outsiders, such as those involved in money laundering, could add to the total.
