They are really reaching with this one. Get mental help.

[stars & stripes forever]

Brace yourself, this is only the beginning.

When did nixon confess a crime on tape? I don’t recall this?

[NorthMountain]

You're expecting truth, or sanity, from "vox dot com"????

BWAHAHAHAhahahahahaha!

[ChicagoConservative27]

Not at all. I find this people should be in a mental ward.

[Lazamataz]

It’s Ezra Klein, the founder of a group (Journ-o-List) intended to coordinate the news in a way that helps the left.

You expected anything less?

[I don’t recall this?]

Doesn’t matter. HISTORICAL FACTS aren’t relevant to MSM.

These people provide enough material for dozens of Psychology dissertations.

I was around for Watergate. It wasn’t the crime. It was the coverup. Guess the left is counting on the public being ignorant of history.

RE:”Then Trump sat down with Holt. What he said next was the kind of thing that Nixon said on the tapes, only Trump said it openly, in public, with minimal prompting:
But regardless of [the] recommendation, I was going to fire Comey. Knowing there was no good time to do it! And in fact when I decided to just do it I said to myself, I said, “You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should’ve won.”
It is unusual for a president to confess to obstructing justice during a televised interview, but that’s more or less what happened. If you dig through Nixon’s tapes, you will rarely find him being quite that explicit.”

Democrats/Media types been repeating that Trump said above he fired Comey to end the investigation, which is not what he said as is clear above.

This Editorial is a good example of Dems talking points.

That Trump's tweets are confessions of crimes, and even if they are not crimes they should be.

There was an 18 1/2 minute accidentally erased section of the tape which everyone was convinced was the smoking gun. Rosemary Woods, Nixon's secretary, said that she accidentally erased it.

So, in the court of public opinion, Nixon was convicted on the evidence contained in a blank tape.

The MSM saw the downfall of Nixon and their role in it as journalism’s shining hour.

They have been salivating at the prospect ever since of repeating this feat, of bringing down a Republican President. And thus the constant comparisons to Nixon. They are obsessed.

[Sacajaweau]

That the concentration on the 19 minutes was the evidence of something criminal was always an absurdity.

[ChicagoConservative27]

Hope you are well!!

[mewzilla]

Wasn’t to me. I’d’ve voted to impeach/convict his happy @ss, too.

[Gay State Conservative]

Seems that Ezra took a few minutes away from his fixation with the newly revealed painting of Baron Trump in the nude to engage in a political porn fantasy rather than a kiddie porn one.

[hecticskeptic]

The MSM saw the downfall of Nixon and their role in it as journalism’s shining hour.

To be slightly more accurate, it was just one of their more successful attempts at exercising their role in a coup d’état…. http://www.watergate.com/

Ezra Klein (Journ0List) showed us yet again these guys don’t know anything about history.

But my guess is that a ‘smart’ guy like Ezra Klein knew, yet he wants to confuse the Dem base that really don’t.

Watergate? Really??!!???!
