Recent events — such as the convictions of two former Trump aides, Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, following Trump’s retributive withdrawal of former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance — have some pundits talking excitedly about new Watergate proceedings aimed at the White House.
But the only deserved excitement should be felt by Brennan, the deceitful quarterback of the Russian Collusion team, as the current chaos helps to run out the clock on any investigation and possible indictment of himself.
As Watergate is inevitably compared to the present situation, we should recall what the scandal was and what it was not. The wrongdoing was rooted in abuses by the party in power during an election, not by a relatively powerless contender, as Trump was in 2016. The Nixon administration used the machinery of government for spying on and sabotaging the campaigns of its political enemies, then enlisted the CIA and FBI in a failed coverup.
All of this is beginning to look like small beer when compared to Brennan’s orchestration of the CIA, FBI, GCHQ (British intelligence) and the media to smear Trump as conspiring with thug Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 election. This charge not only criminalized the incoming president but also delegitimized him from the start, far worse than anything Nixon’s operatives did.

I would argue with the comment that the nixon administration had anything to do with John Dean checking up on his girl
I read Silent Coup too, that John Dean’s fiance was on a list of DNC callgirls and he wanted that list destroyed.
I think Dean sued G. Gordon Liddy for propagating that theory and won
The sad truth is that while many underlings have3 been fired and more underlings will probably get fired, not one indictment will be forthcoming.
Current administrations fear retribution when the other party gets control. Therefore, no jail time for any of them.
how much longer can FakeNewsMSM prevent this story from blowing wide open?
This is not another Watergate.
For heaven’s sake.
BOTH parties conspired to violate the Constitution.
Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen.
Nothing else has ever come close in history.
I would suggest that the Democrats' urge to destroy Nixon in 1972 was rooted in the fact that Nixon had put away the American KGB agent Alger Hiss (who worked in our State Department and helped Stalin seize Eastern Europe) in 1950.
Brennan should be water-boarded to death unless he gives up the goods on the Kenyan.
“This is not another Watergate.
For heaven’s sake.”
A Coup is not the level of Watergate? You’re right, its Watergate to the tenth power
Point being Trump has not participated in criminal activity.
I agree about the coup effort.
I think Dean sued G. Gordon Liddy for propagating that theory and wonG. Gordon Liddy must have had his good friend Lanny Davis for his attorney.
Its the Fifth Law of Thermodynamics in action: When the heat’s on you it isn’t on me.
The rats/media cannot EVER let go of the BS Trump/Russia collusion. Otherwise, it will allow momentum to build where the real crimes are, beginning with Obama.
