In Watergate, you didn’t have Republicans in Congress colluding with the White House to sic the IRS on political enemies.

And the collusion between the IRS and DoJ would’ve made it trivial to entrap someone by having the IRS give them incorrect information about the proper hoops to jump through and boxes to check, so the DoJ could scoop them up and jail them for a ten years or so.
Watergate was closer to a college prank than any real attack on our democracy. The DOJ and IRS are a direct assault on the fabric of our nation.
They are criminals of the highest order. King George never could fight a revolution, but these guys can and make no mistake, it will take a revolution. A good start would be RICO if any have the spine for it.
Jeebus keerist, you sheeple are so pathetic. Watergate was a college prank? Really? Fargin iceholes…
Not literally, but in terms of the severity and number of abuses that the Obama administration is doing, Watergate was almost nothing. Everything bad thing that Nixon was accused of wanting to do, Obama is actually doing on a regular basis.
Nixon ordered the CIA to interfere in an FBI criminal investigation. Does Obama do that “on a regular basis”?
Under Holder, the DoJ is refusing to investigate crimes like voter intimidation, IRS abuse (most of the impacted parties have not been interviewed by the FBI almost 11 months after the story broke), EPA collaboration with radical green organizations, etc. Yes, it is happening all of the time. It is systemic corruption like my wife experienced living under the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines.
Obama uses the NSA more often than the CIA, but I fail to see why that is a critical difference.
“Nixon ordered the CIA to interfere in an FBI criminal investigation. Does Obama do that “on a regular basis”?”
Benghazi. Oh, that was just one event so you will discount it while ignoring all the other one off events that emphasize how corrupt the Democrat party and current administration are.
Compared to what’s going on now, yes it was.
Liddy and his plumbers were attempted to place a bug in an office that the DNC was using. The CIA, FBI, IRS, State Department, and NSA weren’t part of it.
These days, the government has all the GOP and Republican offices wiretapped, along with their personal phones, and it has access to all their e-mails. They just pinky swear that they’re not making use of any of that information.
Watch out. We’ll deport you to Sweden, LarryW, even if you swear you’re not from there.
One aspect of this problem is that there are Establishment GOP people who lust after the same sorts of power. They must be stamped out politically along with the Democratics.
Agreed, but apparently only one side actually drums out their cronies. Nixon was driven out of office. Liddy went to jail. Lerner was given a promotion. We know the name of the person who sent arms to the contras because he went to jail. Who lead Fast and Furious?
And the lady who closed all the monuments during shutdown theatre is now going to be in charge of everyone’s health care. Can’t wait to see HHS weaponized like all the other federal agencies.
