“F.B.I. Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims,” read the headline on a lengthy New York Times story May 18. “The Justice Department used a suspected informant to probe whether Trump campaign aides were making improper contacts with Russia in 2016,” read a story in the May 21 edition of The Wall Street Journal.
So much for those who dismissed charges of Obama administration infiltration of Donald Trump’s campaign as paranoid fantasy. Defenders of the Obama intelligence and law enforcement apparat have had to fall back on the argument that this infiltration was for Trump’s — and the nation’s — own good.
It’s an argument that evidently didn’t occur to Richard Nixon’s defenders when it became clear that Nixon operatives had burglarized and wiretapped the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in June 1972.

Michael Barons is likely the most brilliant nationwide precinct by precinct voting analyst in the country.
Having said that - and, with all due respect to Barone - you are right in what you say. These rabid Dems wanted to impeach Nixon for talking about doing what 0bama has done... and the Dems demand the 'bamster's right to get away with it. REMEMBER Hildy was counselor to the Congressional Watergate committee and she insisted that Richard Nixon had no right to be represented by legal counsel in the proceedings.
I hope Barone's piece is not part of an attempt to draw a parallel between the two incidents; there is NO comparison between the two. Nixon might have made the perfect special prosecutor to present the case of treason against this cabal of elites!
BARONE --- Sometimes I HATE this Kindle, or the people who programmed it! :^{
Barone is finally feeling the love...
Trump needs to send in 'informants' to protect the democrats...
Democrats should be grateful Trump 'cares'... (and we'll know what the little creeps are up to..)
From my perspective, the person who wrote this is clearly attempting discredit, minimize and diminish the situation we have with Trump, by comparing this to Watergate.
>> Obama turned federal officers into his personal secret police. Gestapo.
Soros’ vision? Gestapo v2.
Unless the media starts taking these claims seriously and investigates them in-depth it's pretty much a non-story.
It's what also frustrates me about Q.
I'm willing to believe Q if I see just ONE high-profile political figure paraded in handcuffs on national TV.
BOMBSHELL, BREAKING, BOOM, and Tick-Tock don't make the cut.
Good post, bitt. Barone should spend a moment breaking the facts down for Little Marco. Marco doesn’t seem to get the picture and repeats the Bremerton-Klapper line. They were only there to “help”!
My recollection of Pres Nixon is that, yeah he was shady, my parents thought he was crooked going back to when he was Ike’s VP, but he was a very smart guy. Surely he was smart enough to realize he had the re election in the bag, especially after the Dems nominated Sen McGovern. Why would someone as intelligent as Nixon be dumb enough to get involved with what amounted to a 3rd rate burglary committed by the type of incompetent crooks you’d see on Cops?
You want to media to investigate what? Do ya think they'll be honest and impartial?
Worse than. By 10x.
Fixed it.
And editorial is breaking news?
My #21 above somewhat answers this question. WATERGATE WAS BLOWN A WAY OUT OF PROPORTION! The Dems and their corrupt media saw a chance to criminalize the Republican Party - at which they succeeded in taking control of the Congress for over 20 years.
If - as the Dems say now - 'Spygate' is no big thing, then how could Watergate be more than a parking violation?
I am no defender of Richard Nixon - didn't much care for him. But he appears a piker next to this 'bamster guy.
I hope this tracks back to Obama and the DNC with real evidence. I would love to see the DNC brought to its knees.

Godzilla and King Kong would be toast in such a cage match. LOL
Exactly.
Articles like this sound to me like the Deep State is trying to minimize the seriousness of Spygate. It shouldn’t even be called Spygate. It should be called something more like “the greatest political crime in the history of the world”. The FISA/spying part is just the tip of the iceberg.
Reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nistdsACs3E
Michael Barone is a g-damn moron. Watergate wasn’t even a blip on the corruption radar. This is a massive conspiracy of high treason. Systematic corruption and politicization of our gubbermint by the left-—Nation ending kinda stuff.
Nothing short of Nuremberg-style treason trials and mass hangings on the national mall can right this ship...
If Nixon had been getting blowjobs from men on that reel to reel tape, and taking orders from an Iranian lizard woman.
