“Its exactly like Watergate. Nixon spied on McGovern. Obama spied on Trump. Dean participated in a coverup of his bosses misdeeds. Comey participated in a coverup of his bosses misdeeds.”
Good observation.
Actually, Nixon wasn’t even guilty of spying on McGovern. In fact, he didn’t even KNOW the plumbers broke into the DNC headquarters until AFTER the fact. He if anything was framed for that bit. The only thing he was actually guilty of was being loyal enough to those involved that he covered up their involvement. Whatever Dean’s role was in the misdeeds, it was covering up his own actions (he was the one actually responsible for the breakin, and it had nothing to do with getting dirt for the republicans. Quite the opposite, he was trying to illicitly get rid of evidence that his then-girlfriend was part of a call-girl ring headquartered in that building).
So no, even under that narrow scope, it’s NOTHING like Watergate. Not the true events, anyway. Ironically, the only thing similar is that both times, that weasel John Dean attempted to collude in throwing the Republican President out.
