I also remember they did a Hitler Made-For-TV movie, and explicitly tried to tie it to W.

I’d be willing to bet that less than 1% of Hillary voters have any idea she worked on the Watergate investigation. Even fewer have any idea that she was fired for being unethical.

I hope that part of the story gets played up on social media and talk radio when Clooney leaves it out of the film.

Is this another variation with them playing essentially the same two gay guys?

The guy who’s known as Deep Throat os the same guy who botched the Eilliam Ayers’ Pentagon bombing prosecution with questionable activities.

“You won’t have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore.”

Sorry Dick, you’re dead and they’re still kicking you around.
Sorry liberals complain about the mote in others eyes but fail to notice the beam in theirs.

Obamagate will make Watergate a grain on the beach.
Obama’ agenda had many fronts, all watergates...Lois Lerner and the IRS, lets talk about Benghazi in detail.... shit... washerman... Rhodes...Uranium 1..... Brennan... Mills Obama had many departments all having their own Watergates demonstrating his administrations abuse of power.
Lets talk about his impact globally... Benghazi, Iraq, Iran and his most recent speech in India about promoting the world of islam.
and the downfall of Europe because the floodgates in Libya were opened..

The thing about Watergate is that it was Quaint, a quaint crime committed by quaint means for quaint purposes. ( If those purposes have ever been determined! )

The damning thing was that it was undeniably connected directly to the White House. So, that was it.

Grand and unassailable crimes were subsequently committed “under color of law,” that is, by simple and open abuse of Presidential powers. Nixon’s mistake was in trying to be sneaky.

And to make matters worse, Nixon did a lot to advance their causes.

Yawn. There's only so many times you can beat a dead horse. Someday President Nixon will get his proper due. President Nixon was a good man, an he was a brilliant man who did much good for this country. He was a protector of Israel, and a peacemaker.

Yep, it’s their biggest political scalp and they’ve been milking it for years.

Maybe they can spend a few episodes on Hillary and her getting fired for trying to fake crap in court and her own lead attorney shuts her down.

Id like to see a series called The Blue Dress.

Or,perhaps How Pelosi and Schumer Illegally Knowingly Installed a foreigner as President of the USA.
