Dan Rather: "Trump's Russia Scandal Could Be Bigger Than Watergate"
ZeroHedge ^ | February 15, 2017

Posted on 02/15/2017 3:00:17 PM PST by Zakeet

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather slammed the Trump administration on Tuesday evening for its association with former national security adviser Mike Flynn, claiming "this Russia scandal" might end up being as "big as Watergate."

As Rather wrote in a Facebook post ...

Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, until maybe now. It was the closest we came to a debilitating Constitutional crisis, until maybe now. On a 10 scale of armageddon for our form of government, I would put Watergate at a 9. This Russia scandal is currently somewhere around a 5 or 6, in my opinion, but it is cascading in intensity seemingly by the hour. And we may look back and see, in the end, that it is at least as big as Watergate. It may become the measure by which all future scandals are judged. It has all the necessary ingredients, and that is chilling.

[Snip]

As a reminder, Rather, who conservatives have long accused of having a liberal bias, retired in 2005 from the anchor's chair after his flawed stories on George W. Bush's Air National Guard service record.

And yet hillary was squeaky clean.

The upshot is that GOD forbid, they try to impeach Trump, 60 million americans will be TEN TIMES more ready to fight to the death to reinstate him.

I know my boiling point was several thousand degrees ago

If I thought it was funny, I wouldn’t trash Dan Rather.

The guy has a lot of nerve just poking his head out.

He’s a known liar and fraud.

Does anyone know where I should send a thank you card to Russia just in case they did help? I’d hate to be rude and not thank them properly, just in in case they did save us from Hillary.

I try to avoid doing just that.

Often I do an inventory when I make a list like that. It’s easy to leave someone or something out.

I still screw up though. Such is life... LOL

Wasn’t Rather dumped already for being a phony jackass fool? Does anybody actually care what he has to say?

His coverage of Bush on a subject where he claimed something was true, even though his evidence provided was flubbed. He never retracted and said the story was still true even though he couldn’t provide one bit of evidence to prove it.

I forget if it was Bush’s military service or what now...
