again have a great night
Again, you repeat yourself... and this time making an argument against a point I don't contend... except to repeat, taking responsibility to try to make a corrective action (in his case not protecting the villians) and taking a jail term yourself if you were indeed unaware (still a point we'll never know about,) are two different things.

His stated intent was to spare the people of the USA and the office of the Presidency itself any further duress and harm. In that, he succeeded.

And once again, I'll state that while he couldn't have hoped to survive the political process of impeachment... maybe he hoped for vindication in the legal arena... and as I said... perhaps he counted on being pardoned.... But as you said, it's all in the past.
