It Really DID Start With Watergate

The whole notion of too big to fail ... or jail.  Here, Rachel Maddow interviews Glenn Greenwald about his new book, With Liberty And Justice For Some, which argues that Ford's pardon of Nixon was the beginning of a trend by which we began to give members of the political and financial elite (except for Bill Clinton, of course) free passes based on the crazy idea that, by punishing the criminals, we were really punishing the victims (i.e., the country and its citizens).

Wonder what would happen if a liberal proposed that kind of thinking?  Oh, that's right.  IOIYAR.

NOTE:  Once you get to the Web address, you may have to scroll through several videos to get to the one labled "Too Big To Jail."
