I’m afraid that Nixon has a lot more trustability than the WaPo’s set of low-T losers.

Hang it up, marshmallows, no one believes you any more.

Nixon’s mistakes were:

1) Getting involved in any of this burglary business in the first place, as he would have wiped the floor with McGovern in any case (Trump is smarter than this).

2) Resigning, rather than forcing Congress’ hand on impeachment. Forcing them to leave political fingerprints on the knife would have served useful political purposes down the road.

The entire Trump Coup affair was built on the premise that they could likewise pressure him into resigning. When it became clear he was having none of that all of the wheels started to come off.

Leaks and lies from Obama’s IRS, FBI, CIA, EPA, DOJ et al and this arsehole has the audacity to blame President Trump for distrust in government.

Stalinists lie. Always

Coming from the Senate’s “premier” POS, Leaky Leahy. His “POS Quotient” even eclipses that of Upchucky Schumer.

It is called "beating a dead horse."

But, Trump has something Nixon did not have - Trump knows who he can trust.

There was a point where Nixon really did not know who to trust in his own administration. And, he was afraid that "they" would do to him what "they" did to JFK and he would end up dead. That is the real reason why he resigned.

Trump has many layers of protection around him and despite the many attempts to take him out he is still alive.

So, leaky-leahy, you can just stuff it.

Did Leaky Leahy write this? If so, OHHHH the irony!

Leaky Leahy is another stupid and mean old Rat f@rt who constantly has a constipation grimace on his face.

Of course Brennan earns top honors for the most extreme constipation grimace.

So let me see if I can get this straight: After two years of eating crap, we are all supposed to just say, “Bygones are bygones?”

Try again.

Yep...and not independently investigating the break-in ruse. IMO he could have paid an average PI a few hundred bucks to figure that one out!

Richard Nixon lied. Trump was telling the truth all along.

Trump may have failings but he’s no Nixon.

Figures Democrats like Depends Leahy are reliving their Watergate glory days.

Watergate was half a century ago. Russiagate was a hoax. Time to stop beating a dead horse and its time to move on.

The parallels between then and now are many

There are none. Just antoher set of made up lies by a desperate Leftist trying to find some way to link Trump and Nixon. Nixon was a progressive the poster child for "Me Too" Republicanism. He was nothing at all like Trump in any way.

I just hate the Left. There’s no parallel between Trump and Nixon here. The not-so-subtle insinuation that Nixon = guilty and Trump = Nixon is insulting.

The Left has nothing constructive to add to the American dream. Nothing consistent with our Constitutional rights, nothing consistent with what made America the greatest country on Earth, nothing for our national security, nothing to serve our citizens or our allies.

False

NO Trump figure was even indited with any crime remotely related to “collusion”.

Which if the brain dead poltical bigot at the Wash Pos would pry open their welded shut minds for even a instant, is not a crime in the 1st Place!
