To the editor:
Everyone has heard the expression, "What goes around comes around." Well, Nixon helped to persecute a lot of people along with McCarthy in the late 1940s. Sure enough, about 30 years later, even though he deserved what happened to him because of Watergate, at the time I am sure that he and many of his friends thought he was being persecuted.
And who was one of the people who helped write the decision that Nixon was subject to impeachment? None other than Hillary Clinton. What goes around some around.
Now it would appear that Bill Clinton is being persecuted, but he made his own bed. Now it is time to lie in it. He should be grateful that we don't take after him with tar and feathers and ride him out of town on a rail.
