David Corn to Trump: "You're right: this is indeed bigger than Watergate..."

[kpete]

@DavidCornDC: You don't get it. The FBI was INVESTIGATING your campaign because of CONTACTS with Russia while Moscow was ATTACKING the United States with information warfare. But you're right: this is indeed bigger than Watergate because it involves you aiding and abetting a foreign foe.

Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI “SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN EMBEDDED INFORMANT.” Andrew McCarthy says, “There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.” If so, this is bigger than Watergate!

1. Thank you, David Corn.

The orange dufus will try to frame this as an Obama or Hillary spy. NOT. It was an FBI crime (espionage) investigation looking at Russian operatives.

2. Exactly. As I said in another thread...

...Just because Chris Hansen walks out with a camera instead of your intended "prey" doesn't negate the fact you are a predator.

[kentuck]

3. Yeah, it's bigger than Watergate.

And, I am very happy if the FBI was "spying" on your colluding with the Russians to enrich yourself and to put our country at risk.

If there was justice in our country, you would already be in jail, Mr Trump.

4. I DURec for David Corn!!

[calimary]

6. Watergate was a frathouse prank

in comparison.

11. Back in the day we thought it was huge and....

the horror to end all horrors. Many of us were naive enough to think that once Agnew and Nixon were brought down, the US would enter a new era of honesty and vigilance.

Never dreamed the US would ever see such a complex web of corruption, and it spans the globe. The Justice Department may need to build a new annex just to house all the evidence and proceedings, LOL. Courts will be loaded with aspects of this mess for decades.

19. solve unemployment

by hiring 1,000,000 workers to help untangle and prosecute the corruption

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. LOL, ain't it the truth!

Of course, the Repugs would propose outsourcing the work to China.

17. Still collecting evidence my bet.

Think about what we are finding out now, was known to Mueller 6 months ago.

9. This was ALWAYS way bigger than watergate.

Watergate was a criminal break-in to get political information, all done by Americans for other Americans. This is a criminal conspiracy to steal the highest office in our land, with the outright help and subversion of our voting systems for the benefit of an entire political party by a hostile foreign interest. This is the biggest crime in American history!

10. Ah, the man who loves speaking in superlatives

will most assuredly go down as the worst, the most corrupt, the meanest, the dumbest, the most vulgar, the most chaotic, and his presidency will definitely be "bigger than Watergate" and it will be unlike "anything history has seen" - be careful what you wish for asshole.

13. Trump Unlike Nixon There Will Be No Pardon For You

May you rot in a cell where you belong forever.

14. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread kpete

[sellitman]

15. Want to know why this is REALLY bigger than Watergate?

Because Congress will do nothing.

If we can't vote them out then this Monster will be the "acting" President for at least 4 years.

I'm not a pessimist either. I am a realist.

The Rat Bastards won't touch him because he is doing their bidding.

Way effin bigger all right.

[rurallib]

16. Right you are. That is the real horror of his conspiring with Russia.

his whole worthless party will cover for him thus making checks and balances worthless.

[misanthrope]

22. You're exactly correct

Unless they know for certain they will lose their fat cat positions and fall from grace, the GOP on Capitol Hill will do nothing. It took Republicans to reason with Nixon and get him to step down. They convinced him impeachment and conviction was coming.

Those type Republicans don't exist anymore, not except as the most exceptional outliers. One who might have done such a thing is being pilloried by the current POTUS as he's dying of glioblastoma and the GOP won't even stand up to POTUS on such a facile subject. You think they have the temerity to impeach him?
