Any of this sound familiar?

I grew up reading and hearing about this.
Nixon was the most corrupt President we ever had.

Is Trump going to try and top him in banana republic dictatorship actions and corruption?

Nixon's press secretary Ron Ziegler led the way with recriminations against the (Washington) Post.

Ziegler said, "Why did the Post try to do it? You have a man, editor of the Washington Post by the name of Ben Bradley - I think anyone who honestly accesses what his political persuasions are would, I think come to the conclusion quite quickly that he is not a supporter of President Nixon. I respect the free press. I don't respect the type of journalism, the shabby journalism that is being practiced by the Washington Post."

Clark MacGregor, Chairman of the Committee to Re-elect the President said:

"Using innuendo, third person hearsay, unsubstantiated charges, anonymous sources and huge scare headlines, The Post has maliciously sought to give the appearance of a direct connection between the White House and the Watergate. A charge that the Post knows and a half a dozen investigations have found to be false. The Hallmark of the Post campaign has been hypocrisy."
