Reagan had a pattern of withdrawing nominations, and firing people, if the Democrats made any kind of ruckus.

But then, Reagan was trying to bring down the Soviets, not trying to free the U.S. from totalitarians.

Trump is trying to liberate the U.S. from foreign control.

There is one small reference to “Rathergate” in the wiki link in the “Killian Documents” section. Easy to miss but do a page search and you’ll see it.

Thanks.

"Mr. Sessions is a throwback to a shameful era, which I know both black and white Americans thought was in our past," Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy said during the proceedings. "It is inconceivable to me that a person of this attitude is qualified to be a U.S. attorney, let alone a U.S. federal judge."

Sounds like Kennedy was reading from the same playbook he used to smear Robert Bork, which even Wikipedia acknowledges was a smear: "Bork responded, 'There was not a line in that speech that was accurate.' In an obituary of Kennedy, The Economist remarked that Bork may well have been correct, 'but it worked.'"
