Watergate was a Media coup that ousted a duly elected American President.

The Media is trying to do the same with Donald Trump, but there is enough alternate media that details of the coup keep leaking out around the edges of the Media cone of silence.

Watergate was an inept effort by a Republican president who was dumb enough to get caught. I despise Nixon for his legacy of executive abuse; Watergate just proved his stupidity and paranoia.

"Watergate was a Media coup that ousted a duly elected American President."

Did you experience the same Watergate that I did?

Nixon surrounded himself with unethical advisors and assistants. Those people diverted money from a re-election campaign into a dirty tricks fund which was then used to burglarize the opposition party's headquarters in order to install audio surveillance.

When Nixon learned of the criminal behavior of those on his team he not only contemplated raising hush money to hide the conspiracy, he also failed to enforce the laws of the United States, one of the chief duties of the President.

As the conspiracy unraveled, the President allowed dozens of his associates to perjure themselves and obstruct justice, knowing all along that this was happening.

And don't even get me started on Nixon's enemies list and his use of the IRS to target those enemies.

I'm willing to believe that Hillary's and Obama's crimes are more serious than Watergate. I'm not willing to believe that Nixon was unfairly forced from office by the media.
