Hillary Clinton urges Democrats to hold Watergate-style television hearings
CNN via KPAX ^ | 4/24/19

Posted on 04/25/2019 2:19:07 AM PDT by Libloather

**SNIP**

She wrote a rare-for-her op-ed for the Washington Post about the Mueller report, saying it “documents a serious crime against the American people.” Hours later, it’s the most-read thing on the Post’s website.

Clinton said the 2016 election was “corrupted” by Russia - an assault “bigger than politics” - and “what our country needs now is clear-eyed patriotism, not reflexive partisanship.” Citing Watergate as a precedent, she said “televised hearings added to the factual record and, crucially, helped the public understand the facts in a way that no dense legal report could. Similar hearings with Mueller, former White House counsel Donald McGahn and other key witnesses could do the same today.”

Former Nixon W.H. counsel John Dean, on “AC360,” said “I do agree with her. You have to educate the public. That’s what happened during Watergate. That’s what she’s suggesting should happen again. And that’s the only way to really, politically, move forward - is to have an informed electorate. They are not today.”

“Dems need their MSM pets involved to provide spin and cover.”

This is war.

“...is to have an informed electorate. They are not today.”

Not many democrats in this nation would ever want the electorate knowing what they’re all about. And these standards WILL be used against them someday, guaranteed.

Well thank goodness somebody is going to have Watergate style hearings. I have been wondering why the GOP was not doing this for two years now. But of course the stupid party never seems to get things right.

History is being re-written with the “stolen election” lie to explain how this corrupt dirtbag lost to such an incompetent, immoral man like Trump. It isn’t just for Hillary’s reputation, either; they want to explain how Trump followed St. Barack into the White House (since it exposes the failure of his 8 years as well).

They DONT get it.

We will NOT watch Trump get kicked out like nixon was.

First, Trump is loved WAY MORE and second, he’s done nothing wrong!!

It’s a shooting war if that happens.

I NEVER say that, never believed it could happen.

It could if they do this.

The one thing Trump does well is to get even with people who have wronged him. This limping, stumbling, collapsing living corpse of a woman is going to realize that ‘Lock her up’ wasn’t just a slogan.

Amazing how they are all leap frogging the most recent of impeachment’s, pretending like it never happened. They are looking for John Dean, when they have Monica Lewinsky and Lucy Goldberg as reference.

This is not a stupid act from Hillary. It is arrogant and in our face. She is letting everyone know she is untouchable.

The Hildebeast wants a Nazi show trial, just like Nads Nadler, they are sick perverts of Justice, and will be paid.

I don’t think their strategy is to force him out of office. They wouldn’t dare. What they are counting on is a Muller type investigation 2.0 even more elaborate than the first, more tv coverage non stop that would run through election cycle 2020 and turn public opinion so much against him that he gets voted out of office. Trump understands this and has made it clear he is not going with it.

That sounds more plausible.

IF by a long shot it works in sending him down in 2020 it should still be a war.

We already watched a coup attempt without doing anything.

It’s all insanity.

“HRC retains a staff and putters about as an executive would, giving orders and making busy work. She uses ghost writers, editors, researchers etc...I doubt she writes much of anything, but in grand executive style signs off and gives approval for release.”

You have so nailed it! The pretend president. Probably has an oval shaped office.

She is an obsessive compulsive person in the political arena of life. She is trying to relive her “glory” days of assisting to bring down a President. She probably hated her father. Just sayin’

Aw! Come on! They helped pass laws against lynching, being mean to bugs and celebrating Pretty Flowers Day. They might also have bumped up their own salaries... I confess, I haven’t been paying attention.

She was fired from Watergate staff for lying/ethics.

She also wanted no legal representation for Nixon.
