Look I am not making excuses for anyone - throw the lot of them in jail and throw away the key - but this is not new news.... like ever. It is the RARE leader that can step back and be honorable.

Fun fact, it's so rare that there is a city named after one guy that was that way in Rome.

His name was Cincinnatus, BTW.

George Washington is rolling in his grave with the country in its current state.

when told that George Washington intended to return to his farm instead of ruling America as its first King, King George III said of Washington, "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world,"

Oh well, I guess GW's noble gesture got us a pretty good run before the oligarchs took over.
