If this is true, it should be a scandal to rival Watergate.
Just this one small part of the massive nationwide conspiracy of sedition is already much worse than Watergate.
Nixon was an Altar Boy compared to trump
We blew past Watergate a long time ago friend.
While I agree, the rest of his party doesn’t. When the Watergate scandal was at its peak, Nixon was radioactive. Even his own party didn’t want to be seen with him. And as things currently stand, he’s still very popular with conservatives.
And that's why Roger Ailes created Fox News. So it wouldn't happen like that again.
Were you there for it? I was not.
My sense is that Watergate was so scandalous is because the whole thing was the picture of crimes. Everyone could visualize a burglary.
Trump commits crimes out in the open, on television and on Twitter. That's not the picture of crimes or coverups.
Finally, between stealing and showing off classified nuclear secrets, and the fraud in Georgia, the crimes are more picturesque.
I understand the trial will be televised. I expect Republicans and Trump's lawyers to try and make it as confusing and tedious as possible, to obscure the picture of Trump's crimes.
Nixon all but wore a black hat and a a cartoon bandit mask on. They snuck in at night and got caught in the act, the accomplices lied, they destroyed evidence. Easy to see the criminality when everyone acts exactly like we expect criminals to act.
Nowadays, if Trump's goons broke into a Democratic party office, they'd be like "yeah we're the Republicans and we busted in here to ratfuck the Dems," I wonder the odds of whether the officer responding to the suspicious activity call from Forest Gump even make a report, let alone arrest them and hold them overnight for a bail hearing? As we've seen, the right cop might even open the door for Trump's mob.
The Watergate burglars lied about what they were doing, had questionable identification, and came off right away as criminals.
