I was reading about Watergate and read that it was two investigative reporters from the Washington Post that got it all started. It looks like they are still up to the same tricks. It worked once they figure it will work again but Trump isn’t Nixon.

“...It worked once they figure it will work again but Trump isn’t Nixon.”


And 2019 isn’t the same world as 1972-4. The media no longer have a stranglehold on “news”.

It was Mark Felt aka “Deep Throat”, a disgruntled FBI worker who was passed over as head of FBI when Hoover died. The case was going to be dropped after Nixon was re-elected, but Felt resurrected the case.
