How the Washington Post, not Nixon, covered up Watergate

As the 50th anniversary of Richard Nixon’s unprecedented resignation approaches, Americans would do well to re-examine the Watergate scandal before the Washington Post’sjournalistic fraud becomes inalterably ossified as historical fact. Watergate
involved a massive cover-up, to be sure, but it was a campaign of concealment by Washington’s paper of record, not by the Nixon administration, the true victim of Watergate. We should recall that what had originally appeared in the aftermath of the arrests to have been a “rogue” burglary caper, bungled by bit players, eventually morphed, per sensational Post reporting, into a deliberately planned campaign scheme to influence an...

Former Watergate prosecutor weighs in on recent Trump gag order: ‘This is so unusual’

Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said Wednesday that the gag order recently imposed on former President Trump in his New York hush money trial is “so unusual.” “I
think what the viewers have to understand is, this is so unusual,” Akerman told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield in an interview. “This never happens, in over 50 years of law practice, both as a prosecutor, a defense lawyer. Akerman emphasized the unprecedented nature of how Trump’s case has unfolded, and that his attacks on Judge Juan Merchan could get the former president in “harm’s way.” Not only is the gag order itself unusual,...

'Much Bigger than Watergate': Right on Cue, CNN Nudges John Dean on GA Indictments

It's all too predictable. A scandal or merely an apparent scandal involving Republicans happens and one of the Watergate people, usually John Dean or Carl Bernstein, is brought aboard by the media to perform their "Worse than Watergate!" or "Bigger than Watergate!" shtick.There's nothing at all unusual about Dean invoking Watergate for
the umpteenth time as part of his media circus act. Why bring on this 84-year-old pundit, if that's not the point? Dean wrote a book in 2006 that mild-mannered George W. Bush was Worse Than Watergate. Last summer, Dean was the star of a four-part CNN special titled...

John Dean: Trump indictments over 2020 election ‘much bigger than Watergate’

John Dean, former President Nixon’s White House counsel, said Monday night that former President Trump’s latest indictment in Georgia over efforts to overturn the 2020 election is “much bigger than Watergate.” Dean made the comment on CNN, when asked by anchor Kaitlan Collins whether he sees echoes of the Nixon-era scandal in
the Georgia indictment. “It’s much bigger than Watergate,” said Dean, who gave key congressional testimony during the Nixon scandal. “It’s of a whole different dimension. It goes to the very foundation of democracy. Nixon abused some powers, he exceeded his authority when he shouldn’t, but he wasn’t taking...

Shocking Revelations about Hillary Clinton's Watergate Committee Job
|

American Thinker ^
| April 2, 2008 | By Rick Moran
According to this Daniel Calabrese article, Hillary Clinton was fired from her job as a staff attorney for the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate investigations for, among other things, lying: Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary
got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of...

Watergate vs. Bidengate: Which is Worse?
|

American Thinker ^
| 07/30/2023 | Mark C. Ross
Dialing the time machine back to 1972, we find a previous presidential scandal. Though
not directly involved, Richard Nixon was the focus of blame. A handful of operatives in Nixon's campaign and administration performed a "third-rate burglary" at the opposition's headquarters. Several of those involved avoided using their first names. Instead, they were G. Gordon Liddy, E. Howard Hunt, and L. Patrick Gray. Most curious in this affair was the lack of a serious motive. Nixon's re-election was a solid inevitability. Not all that long after the Watergate break-in hit the news, Nixon carried 49 states, and McGovern didn't even...

Watergate Historian Explains How Trump Comments Compare With Nixon Tapes

Newsweek ^
| 06/27/2023 | JAMES BICKERTON
No admission in former President Richard Nixon's Watergate tapes was "as clearly illegal" as that of Donald Trump in audio first published by CNN where the latter describes having "highly confidential" papers in his possession, a leading historian of the period has said. The
audio, in which Trump appeared to admit some of the documents in his possession hadn't been declassified, was published on Monday. In response, a Trump campaign spokesperson said the former president had been "speaking rhetorically and also quite humorously," and hadn't committed any wrongdoing. Earlier this month, Trump was charged with 37 counts related to his...

Trump ties latest Hunter revelations to Biden inaction on China's Cuba spy base: 'Bigger than Watergate'

"Within ten days, the Bidens got $5.1 million from China for absolutely no reason. They
got $5.1 million. In fact, they've taken tens of millions of dollars from China. And that's probably why, maybe he's not complaining about the fact that they're building military bases in Cuba. Maybe that's the reason," he claimed. Trump later went on to describe Biden as a "compromised president" and suggested that Biden’s policies were being influenced by past business dealings. "This is truly 100 times bigger than Watergate. This is a much bigger story than Watergate. That's why Biden doesn't mind that China has...

Former President Donald Trump believes President Joe Biden’s family corruption is “100 times bigger than Watergate,” according to his prepared remarks for an address at the Faith and Freedom Coalition, just days after an IRS whistleblower made shocking revelations about the Biden family. Trump’s
speech begins by highlighting the recent IRS whistleblower who revealed that Biden was seated next to his son, Hunter, while Hunter demanded to be paid by CCP-linked Chinese businessman Henry Zhao in 2017. Trump’s remarks say: Just two days ago, an IRS whistleblower revealed that Crooked Joe sat in a room while his son Hunter messaged...

Donald Trump on Tuesday reiterated his claims that the Bidens are a “crime family” and likened their suspected wrongdoings to “Watergate times 10.” Trump’s
withering criticism of President Biden and his clan came just days after House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican, claimed in a Fox News interview that at least 12 members of the first family were involved in an “influence-peddling scheme.” “What Congressmen James Comer and Jim Jordan have revealed about the ‘Biden Crime Family’ would be Watergate times 10, if this news was revealed just 10 years ago,” Trump said in the video posted to...

The room where it happened: What it's like to stay in the $1,600-a-night ‘Scandal Room’ at the Watergate Hotel

The greatest scandal in American political history has its roots in room 214 of The Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. The famed room still exists and can be booked for overnight stays for an average nightly rate of about $1,600. That's
right: You, too, can sleep in the room where, in 1972, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy stationed themselves while orchestrating the break-in at the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) headquarters. The fallout from the break-in led to President Richard Nixon resigning in disgrace. To date, Nixon remains the only U.S. president to ever resign from office. The DNC's...

Trump says he would have fought Watergate, quitting Nixon’s ‘biggest regret’

Former President Donald Trump revealed today that Richard Nixon’s “biggest regret” was giving in to GOP pressure to resign during the Watergate impeachment crisis, a move the 45th president said he wouldn’t have made. “His
daughter actually told me that his biggest regret was that he didn't fight, he should have fought,” Trump said, without identifying which daughter. But, he added, Nixon lacked the public support needed to carry on. “I'm not sure that that had an impact one way or the other,” he said, had Nixon resisted.

Did the CIA Engineer Watergate to Get Rid of Nixon?
Investigating whether the explosive assertions of Tucker Carlson might be true.

Tucker Carlson made some explosive assertions recently, suggesting that the CIA and the FBI brought down Richard Nixon because he was on to their efforts to undermine the American system as the Founding Fathers had intended it to run and knew that the CIA was involved in the assassination of John F.
Kennedy. Carlson’s segment quickly became wildly controversial, but is it true? We may never know for sure — and that in itself demonstrates yet again the need to demand and enforce complete transparency and accountability from these agencies that all too easily can go rogue.

Skip to the 6-minute mark and listen through to the end. Tucker
talks about Nixon winning by the biggest margin in history, Watergate, Nixon's threat to CIA director Helms about exposing "who shot John", Mark Felt Asst FBI Director for counterintelligence being Deep Throat, and Bob Woodward had been in Naval Intelligence. Very interesting stuff, particularly since Carlson has at least twice in the last few weeks stated openly that the CIA assassinated JFK. The Daily Caller mysteriously left this part of the video out of their reporting on what he was talking about last night. I hope Carlson has...

Nixon's Watergate lawyer says Trump's 2024 bid is 'a defense of sorts' against Jan 6 indictment but it won't matter because the committee has an 'overwhelming case'

John Dean, White House counsel for former President Richard Nixon, said he expects charges to be brought against former President Donald Trump this week because of the "overwhelming case" made by the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 insurrection. According
to Politico, the January 6 committee will decide through a vote Monday on whether to recommend charges against former President Donald Trump to the Department of Justice and is poised to pursue that he be charged with insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy to defraud the US government. The committee is also expected to release a...

James Woods Ominously Predicts That 'The Laptop will end this administration' and be 'Bigger than Watergate'...

| NOVEMBER 22, 2022 | DAVID CARON
Actor James Woods made an ominous prediction yesterday in a viral tweet after CBS News finally acknowledged the Hunter Biden laptop’s authenticity as House Republicans move to investigate. Woods
declared in the tweet that “The laptop will end this administration.” “It’s going to be bigger than Watergate,” Woods insisted. Woods added, “These grifters are rotten to the core.” As we reported yesterday, CBS News released a report after performing an “independent forensic review” on a copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop data. The report has been mocked as being too little too late as the network apparently tries to save face...
