Nancy Pelosi: DNC hack is 'electronic Watergate'
http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/11/politics/dnc-hack-electronic-watergate/ ^

Posted on 08/12/2016 2:16:57 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Amid reports that the hack of the Democratic National Committee was even broader than had been made public, the highest-ranking Democrat in Congress is calling the incident an "electronic Watergate."

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi compared the hack to the infamous break-in of DNC offices at the Watergate complex that was tied back to President Richard Nixon and the White House.

"Let me just say this in terms of the presidential campaign: This is an electronic Watergate," Pelosi said. "This is a break in."

Pelosi was responding to a report late Wednesday by The New York Times that the scope of the hack of the DNC was broader than had been known. Citing sources familiar with the investigation, the Times reported that hackers compromised the private email accounts of over 100 party officials and groups, including officials in the campaign of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Governors Association -- though a Democratic source said that the DGA inclusion was incorrect.

Hitlery should do the honorable thing (as Nixon did) and resign right now.

“Hillary is Nixon?”

Nope, the new meme being tested her is that TRUMP is Nixon.

It’s an electronic
Pentagon Papers.

Except that the DNC is worse even than the sixties Democrats thought the Pentagon was . . .

Pelosi is a crazy old lady. To be a parallel to Watergate, it would have to be Trump’s people that did the hacking. Which there is not the slightest evidence for. This appears to be a “break-in” of the DNC by either an insider, or a third party, or some combination thereof.

There’s not a shred of honor in the corrupt crone’s body so she can’t fathom “doing the honorable thing” and there’s no way she will resign or drop out of this campaign under any circumstances. If she’s convulsing on the floor in seizures or falls down the stairs and ends up in a coma, maybe someone else will do the “honorable thing” on her behalf.

By all means, let’s ignore the law breaking and treason, and focus on HOW the truth was arrived at. Dems don’t need a ‘D’ after their names, just sprinkle a little truth around, and it’s like KRYPTONITE.

There is no GOP involvement in the hack. She’s engaging in a dangerous conspiracy theory claim to cover her rump over the distasteful things found within the DNC emails.

More likely, the emails are the Pentagon Papers.

That is a perfect analogy! We need to push this comparison and get as many people as possible using this analogy, rather than Nancy's lame "Electronic Watergate" talking point.

Exactly! This is the dumbest comparison Pelosi could make because eventually Watergate brought down Nixon!

All I could think when she was rambling on yesterday was, "Yeah, Nancy! Keep this up!" Trump has nothing to do with the illegal server or the hack. The only one this will catch is Hillary.

"Yes, he basically said it could bring down the entire government, things were so intertwined, including the GOP and the Dem Congress members."

You have now discovered why the gopE, Democrats, and the media have gone all in and over the top to defeat Trump.

The break in was nothing. Both parties have been doing this (by various means) for years. Did eever learn what they learned from the break in? I don’t think so.

I agree with Her, it’s like Watergate.

Of course, one would have to understand what Watergate was about...

Why did the ‘burglars’ break into the DNC HQ at the Watergate Hotel? Hint: It was not a panty raid.

The break-in was to find proof of two specific items:

1) Proof that the DNC was laundering money for the Teamsters Union

2) Proof that the DNC was operating a prostitution ring from the DNC HQ at the Watergate Hotel

The buglers found this proof. In order to keep it out of the press, dire actions needed to be taken...

To me this email scandal is just like Watergate - proof that the DNC is still up to it’s same ol’, same ol’ felonious tricks.

Hope they burn for this one.

she thinks this is some kind of emergency but you do have to understand Nancy’s historical perception of emergency:

it emerged four weeks ago that back Napa she had gone lights and sirens in order to go 2A local shoe store, I believe the shoe store was called “foot candy” and it involved cutting across many lanes of heavy traffic in her official black SUV.

for shoes.

Dem strategy - get the weak minded media to concentrate on the hack, not the treachery and TREASON revealed in the emails.
