That bitch should roast in hell!
She hasn’t changed. Whoever said you get smarter with age missed this one.
That’s what I assumed but she really rolled the dice. Is it too late for Trump to charge her? Kind of kidding
One of the best explanations I have seen on the matter:
For all the huffing and puffing about "Hanoi Jane" Fonda and her allegedly "treasonous" activities during her visit to Vietnam in 1972, it has always seemed strange that the then Nixon Administration NEVER sought to formally prosecute her( as past Administrations did for "Axis Sally" and "Tokyo Rose- Mildred Gillars and Iva d'Aquino- see their respective Wikipedia bio entries- I think d'Aquino was formally pardoned by President Gerald Ford in 1976) after she returned to the US.
I have a theory- the US Justice Department probably advised the White House that any such attempt to prosecute Jane Fonda would probably lead to an ignominious acquittal as the Vietnam War was never formally declared by Congress and after the Watergate scandal absorbed official attention in the spring, summer and autumn of 1973, the Nixon(and succeeding Administrations of Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan wisely decided to let the matter drop- the war was divisive enough without reopening old wounds!
