This time "For the good of the country" means exposing the truth and not suppressing it.

[Rustynaerduwell]

Too often in our past the truth was suppressed "for the good of the country". The excuse was that the truth "could tear us apart". Nixon in Hanoi before the 1968 election. Reagan and Iran before the 1980 election. Any hint that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't act alone. 9/11, Saudi Arabia and the 28 pages. It has allowed for criminal and otherwise nefarious acts to be covered up under the guise of "national security".

This time, covering up the truth is what could tear this country apart. Now is the time for the precedent that a crime committed by the President is punishable. Punishable. Not just impeachment. No resignation followed by a pardon. Payment to society for a crime committed. For the good of the country.

1. Reagan & Iran before 1980 election not 1976

Let's add a bunch of Regan-Bush scandals while they were in office which, while investigations happened, people who were potentially the ultimate targets were in a position to stonewall, run the clock out, and leave the whole investigation hamstrung.

Could do so, and did do so.
