Does anyone recall the stonewalling that went on around the Nixon coverup of Watergate, which was relatively innocuous as compared to the vast damage to national security that is involved with this private server?

Nobody would talk for a LONG time, until the break came with H.R. Halderman, implicating many of the persons near to Nixon, and ultimately Nixon himself, when the “smoking gun” was discovered.

If one of them goes down, they all go down. But there is no assistance from either the pusillanimous, craven, dastardly majority of the members of both parties in the Congress and Senate, or from the lapdog press corps that will not pursue the facts, regardless of where they lead. Showing a lack of courage is neither prudent, nor in the long run, any credit to the professions involved.

There are people out there who know the real story. But they aren’t talking.

Seems like I remember that it began to break open when Alexander Butterfield testified before the Watergate Committee that the automatic tape system existed. It wasn’t long before John Dean stepped forward (in exchange for immunity) and testified that Nixon knew about the cover up. BTW, with Dean, once a rat always a rat!
