The Obama Administration's surveillance of the Trump campaign and transition teams, if true, is an egregious criminal act. It makes Watergate look like child's play. Watergate happened over 40 years ago. It was a GOP Administration at the time that was under investigation. Congressional Republicans cooperated admirably and fully in the nationally televised Senate Watergate Committee hearings which captivated a nation, and fully supported the appointment and work of Special Prosecutors Archibald Cox, then Leon Jaworski. It was Republican Senator Howard Baker who famously posed the question on national television, "What did the president know, and when did he know it?" The two-year long "national nightmare" culminated in the resignation of President Richard Nixon. In the end, it was an elite group of Republican elders including Senators Hugh Scott and Barry Goldwater, and House GOP Leader John Jacob Rhodes, that made the somber journey up Pennsylvania Avenue to tell President Nixon the jig was up.
The media, led by the Washington Post, were like a pack of bloodhounds in unearthing the truth, using a composite of highly placed sources known as "Deep Throat." And White House Counsel John Dean turned state's evidence and sang like a canary at the Senate hearings.
My how times have changed. The Democrats will not cooperate with any investigation, nor will they agree to a Special Prosecutor. They will not agree to televised Committee hearings. The media, outside of Fox News and conservative talk radio, will not work doggedly to unearth the truth. Quite the opposite---they will act like the partisan hacks they are. They will defend the Obama Administration accomplices, minimize the severity and significance of these acts, and try to change the story to implicate President Trump and his associates. There will be no tell-all White House sources like Dean who sing like a canary. Every witness will either take the fifth or lie like a rug. No Democratic senator will ask the question that Senator Baker asked. And no elite group of Democratic party elders will make the somber trip to the White House to apologize to President Trump for their slanderous allegations that he and his campaign team were working with the Russians to swing the election in their favor.
The chances of seeing truth and justice in this case are small, actually infinitesimally small. Nothing will happen and everyone will get off scott free.
The same thing happened with the Lewinsky scandal. The Dems rallied around Clinton after his impeachment in a show of solidarity.
Abuse of power by black Democrats. Nothing, absolutely nothing will happen to Rice or Obama. Just the way it is.
Not surprising since they were John Dean’s break-ins.
Those of us that were there remember their constant moralizing and preaching. They told us that if one of their’s was ever proven to be a scoundrel, they would be as sevee against him as against Republican presidents. We all know how that turned out.
Watergate was an Establishment Media coup against a duly elected president.
They got away with it.
They will not get away with attempting to do it to Donald Trump.
Bothe have the protective coating of melanin, and in her case, with estrogen enhancement.
Comparing the current despicable scandal with Watergate is apples and oranges.
Both are shameful, but they are not comparable. Yet.
Watergate was not about a sloppy break-in or about spying on the Dems. People went to jail — a lot of people — primarily for obstruction of justice.
When we have solid evidence that Obama and his minions were raising million$ and laundering cash to pay blackmail to keep the lid on their crimes, then we can compare today’s news to Watergate.

Laura Ingram spoke the truth today when she basically said nothing will come of this.
I can’t wait for the Bogus Intelligence Committee theater Play, “Watch us pretend to ask her tough questions, when in reality the questions will be framed in such a why to give her room not to commit perjury”.
