Wake up.

Watergate was a Deep State op to remove a President, from beginning to end. They tried the same thing in 2015-2020, but in that time there were more than 3 TV channels and two newspapers, and Walter Cronkite was dead.

Someone explain to me the difference between Nixon’s white House tapes and billy Clinton ‘s sock drawer tapes.
I don’t see the difference just a different situation
Another question I have is who was in charge of investigating what was on the tapes when the 18.5 minutes of erased tape was discovered
