What A Country!

What A Country! What El Presidente did reminds me of Nixon era. Nixon wanted to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox because Cox was turning up the heat on Watergate and other related investigations. Nixon turned to Attorney General Elliot L. Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William D. Ruckelshaus to do his dirty work for him, both refused. Both resigned in protest, although the White House said that Ruckelshaus was fired. Who's left to do the task, (I can do it Mr. President) Solicitor General Robert H. Bork. Cox was fired by Bork. What A Country! We all know what happened to Nixon.

Will change come to the D.R.? It's going to be a while. Need to have some Elliot Richardson and William Ruckelshaus types in the Dominican government to bring good character and courage to the political process here. Meanwhile, El Presidente will have his way. Nobody is going to be checking his pockets when he lining somebody else's as a favor to them to turn a blind eye. What A Country! Regards, PJT
