Obama’s spying scandal is starting to look a lot like Watergate

“F.B.I. Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims,” read the headline on a lengthy New York Times story May 18. “The Justice Department used a suspected informant to probe whether Trump campaign aides were making improper contacts with Russia in 2016,” read a story in the May 21 edition of the Wall Street Journal.
So much for those who dismissed charges of Obama administration infiltration of Donald Trump’s campaign as paranoid fantasy. Defenders of the Obama intelligence and law enforcement apparat have had to fall back on the argument that this infiltration was for Trump’s — and the nation’s — own good.
It’s an argument that evidently didn’t occur to Richard Nixon’s defenders when it became clear that Nixon operatives had burglarized and wiretapped the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in June 1972.

He has the Nixon ears.

It’s a perfect analogy except Bozo was on his way out and was trying to hook a sista up. Make no mistake. Obama is untouchable.

Oh, it's way worse.

While I think the ___gate gets overused... it may actually be worse. It’s definitely deeper into the government bureaucracy.

Way worse then Watergate

Much worse.
Spygate turned into an attempted coup.

Messiah is untouchable. Sasquatch will be equally untouchable which allows them to operate with impunity. This is the reason they are so dangerous and push the boundaries.

Use of ANY term other than Watergate with a -gate suffix should be punishable by forced exposure to 100 straight hours of Celine Dion music.

Pretty sure that would violate the Geneva convention!

It's worse
We had an attempted coup on a duly elected president. The worst part is that the MSM and most of the left are cheering it on. This is the kind of shite that happens in third world countries
This is the first presidential race some of my friends and I voted in (about 5 of us). I'll never vote for a Democrat (them either)for president unless they denounce what happened and people go to jail.

obama's use if the IRS to deny opponents the opportunity to participate in the political process dwarfs Watergate.
The obama administration was a blight upon our collective national history and his misdeeds need to be exposed and fully acknowledged.

I can't get behind the Watergate comparison.
Spygate has a broad swath of high crimes encompassed within its scope, including Logan Act, sedition and high treason, as well as a full blown attempted coup that hasn't been put to bed yet by any means.
Watergate was kindergarten shite compared to what we're witnessing today. This is the worst scandal in America's storied history.

So you are more upset by an overused term than the issued from the topic?
I would not be surprised if that is the case.
Have a nice day, if possible.
Edited for spelling to avoid triggering.

Yeah, you can’t on one head in-bed the spies to seek Russian information, and then say” look, he has Russian spies and is conspiring with Russia” when we sent the spies....This is sedition if not treasonous coup-like shite. They all should be hanged in the real world, but since it’s on the left, watch nothing happen.....

Faaarr worse; Nixon was a dirty politico who bent the rules to win (most do), but Nixon was not and Ideological Socialist who wanted to "fundamentally change this Nation". Obama was...and does. His Oath, to defend and protect the Constitution was a lie; he despises the limits ("negative liberties") it puts on his would-be criminal usurpation of what many believe are God-given Rights.
Nixon would have never shipped $150 BILLION in cash/gold/etc. in the middle of the night and unauthorized by Congress off to the number one Islamist terror Nation in the World. Obama did. He should be frog-marched to the nearest international Media studio, and made to tell the truth, and defend his REAL beliefs and (legally criminal)actions. They won't. In fact - if Obama had true character metal - he'd wouldn't have to be 'forced'...he should man up and do it himself. He won't. Cowardly liar.

Absolutely - the punishment needs to include subjugation to Don Lemon/Rachael Maddow/Mika soudbytes on a never ending loop as well.

The main difference: Nixon was legit paranoid.
Obama (i.e., Mr. Pen-and-a-phone) was styling himself as an absolute dictator.
