Actually I think it was a 7 minute gap of tape that was the thrust for obstruction of justice BUT that pales in comparison of destruction of 33,000 emails off of a rogue non-Govt server that also had classified Information on it.
Isn’t Daniel Elsberg and his whistleblower book, The Pentagon Papers, which showed they were lying to us about the war in Veitnam the same as Wkikileaks today. Asante actually should get a Pulitzer Prize as he is the modern age Woodward & Berstein. Back when investigative journalism flourished but now has eroded to pure Bagdad Bob propaganda. Robbie Mook handing Andrea Mitchel the phone and letting her get first shot at a question was a smoking gun for me. Makes me sick
Actually, it was 18 minutes.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. Assange should get a Pulitzer Prize for his investigative work. Slim chance though.
In fact, Woodward and Bernstein were merely tools of Felt (Deep Throat) who was also trying to take Nixon down for personal reasons. Groomed by Hoover who was by then dead, Felt was miffed that Nixon did not appoint him the head of the FBI.
