Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather slammed the Trump administration on Tuesday evening for its association with former national security adviser Mike Flynn, claiming "this Russia scandal" might end up being as "big as Watergate."
As Rather wrote in a Facebook post ...
Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, until maybe now. It was the closest we came to a debilitating Constitutional crisis, until maybe now. On a 10 scale of armageddon for our form of government, I would put Watergate at a 9. This Russia scandal is currently somewhere around a 5 or 6, in my opinion, but it is cascading in intensity seemingly by the hour. And we may look back and see, in the end, that it is at least as big as Watergate. It may become the measure by which all future scandals are judged. It has all the necessary ingredients, and that is chilling.

As a reminder, Rather, who conservatives have long accused of having a liberal bias, retired in 2005 from the anchor's chair after his flawed stories on George W. Bush's Air National Guard service record.

Duplicitous Dan is salivating, just thinking of the possibilities!
Fake, but accurate.
Yep.
All the communist lovers are coming out against Trump. I think you will see them stroke out in a month.
What Does It Mean to Have ‘Repeated Contacts’ With Russian Intelligence?
A Russian investigative journalist parses a murky concept.
Tuesday evening, The New York Times reported that associates of then-candidate Donald Trump, including within his presidential campaign, had had “repeated” contact with Russian intelligence officials, and that American intelligence and law-enforcement officials had records of intercepted communications to prove it. The news came a day after Michael Flynn resigned as Trump’s national security adviser after having misled the vice president about the substance of his own conversations with the Russian ambassador prior to Trump’s inauguration.
The nature of the contacts the Times disclosed Tuesday were murky; the four current and former officials who described them to the paper declined to specify what, exactly, those contacts entailed; how many people were involved and who all of them were; and what their aims might have been. American intelligence had been investigating the possibility of collusion between Trump aides and Russian intelligence, but the Times report noted that the officials interviewed had “seen no evidence of such cooperation.”

Did Trump Aides Speak With Russian Intelligence Before the Election?
The only individual officials identified by name to the Times as being on the intercepted calls was Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign manager, who denied having “knowingly spoken to Russian intelligence officers,” maintaining that “it’s not like these people wear badges that say, ‘I’m a Russian intelligence officer.’”
I am not saying that will or won’t get rid of President Trump. I hope that they don’t, but it is possible that they can. Very slim chance, but it still has to be considered and dealt with.
Coming after our guns[and we all know that they will] is a horse of a different color. That is when we will show them how to make the grass grow green.
Not intending to give you a short answer, but, yes, they are.
Dan Rather smokes crack.
If that happens, then will go to plan .22 to 30.06 and in between. The only thing I know for sure is that I shall not go to one of their re education camps. It will all be decided in my front yard.
This butt “Rather Bias” is still alive??????

Dan Blather...the lying POS?
Maybe not us, but the great unwashed mobs[Leftists], who are the target of this are absolutely that stupid. Don’t believe it? Try to have an intelligent conversation with one of them.
“Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime” so says Rather.
Not the biggest of his personal lifetime.
If these bastards try impeachment, then the good guys in the military need to shoot their way into power and defend their Commander and Chief.
