The dems never forgave Nixon for his role in the exposure and conviction of Alger Hiss. Their dagger found its mark in Watergate.

Remember that Bernstein’s parents were hardcore Communist Party members and he was proud of them for it. He says so in his book.

Excellent book by Len Colodny.... all about the coup d’état that eventually took Nixon out.

Congratulations Woodward & Bernstein, your fake reporting led to the deaths of millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians.

Hope you sleep well tonight.

Meanwhile, MSM fake news on Trump has led to tens of thousands of deaths in Afghanistan and Ukraine and possibly far more in Taiwan.

Obama killed millions. Trump saved lives.

Tell it to your maker. He already knows.

Well, they robbed Trump of a second term but they tried to ‘take him out’ by impeachment and that started BEFORE the election and before he even was sworn in.

Has anyone besides myself and a few people in the International Affairs arena heard the story about Kissinger jeopardizing the flight of six F-4s to Israel during the Yom Kippur War by not providing for aerial refueling or land-based fueling sites?

How do you say Tajon AF Base?

Here’s one version of the story that includes references to the F4s:

Mark Felt was a bitter cork soaker for being passed over for head of the FBI.

Mark Felt may have been a source for Woodward and Bernstein, but he was not capable of knowing and leaking things happening in the White House. Woodward was a former naval intelligence officer who wound up working in the White House. He was known to have briefed Gen. Al Haig there. Haig is the most likely person to have been the "Deep Throat", and they all lied to cover up for him. Felt is just the patsy, named after he was senile and couldn't remember, let alone talk about, anything.

The question is qui bono? Who benefited from Watergate? Who benefited from removing V.P. Agnew? In the short term, the answer was Gerald Ford, who served as an unelected president for the remainder of Nixon's second term. In the long term, I think the answer is George H. W. Bush, who cleared out quite a few prominent Republicans ahead of him in his climb to win the presidency, and then engineer his son's tarnished election as well.

Yet these two keep missing all the crimes of the clintons, obama, biden etc. and everyone else connected to them. Like they purposely did so.

Marking, so I can read. Yesterday, Woodward & Bernstein said cr*p about Trump. Glad the truth about those miscreants is coming out.
