Second.

Richard Nixon was elected to his second term as President in November 1972 with 60.1% of the popular vote and 520 electoral votes. Less than two years later, he was removed from office (forced to resign) by a conspiracy orchestrated by the CIA (Woodward), the FBI (Felt), the media (Bradlee, Bernstein) and Democrats in Congress.
At the time, no American was more enthusiastic for his removal than me. I was a true Watergate fanatic. I ate, slept, and talked Watergate. The day he resigned, I was overjoyed.
I was fooled, and many are being fooled right now, in the same way, by the same conspirators, following the same script aiming for the same outcome.
Let me explain.
Nixon had campaign operatives commit a crime (burglary) for the purpose of finding evidence of another crime (prostitution) and to hurt his enemies. He made a mistake doing this. He rationalized it, I'm sure, by reference to the innumerable crimes of the whoremaster John Kennedy and his successor LBJ. This happened in June of 1972. By the time America went to the polls in November, every single American knew the President's men had broken into the Watergate and believed or strongly suspected that he was somehow involved.
Nevertheless, the voters gave Nixon the largest COMBINED popular and electoral vote majority in the history of the nation. But the Deep State did not agree with the voters' verdict.
So, they constructed a narrative which was supposed to take months, maybe more than a year, to play out.
Those of us who were alive in those days remember the drip, drip, drip of revelation after revelation, "discovered" by CIA operative Woodward and leaked to Bernstein by FBI operative Felt. It was SO EXCITING! LIKE A MOVIE! EXCEPT IT WAS REAL!
But, of course, it wasn't real at all. Every "fact", real and invented, was known to the coup plotters from the beginning.
Had the Democrats in Congress opened an "impeachment inquiry" in January of 1973, they would have been laughed out of town. But that wasn't what they were trying to do.
What they wanted, and what they eventually got, was to get Nixon's Republican defenders to coalesce around a defense that the Deep State know was false, could prove was false, and would drop on the Republicans like an atom bomb at just the right moment.
Alexander Butterfield "accidentally revealed" the existence of White House tapes at a Senate hearing. Of course, this wasn't an accident. And it wasn't a secret, not from the CIA, not from the FBI, not from the traitors on the National Security Council and the other Deep State organs (yes, Henry Kissinger, I'm looking at you).
At the time, it was inconceivable that anyone other than "Tricky Dick" could have erased the famous 18 minute segment. But it's much more likely now, after seeing Ciamarella and Vindman in action, that this was done with malicious intent by globalist spies in the White House still smarting over the spanking delivered to McGovern less that 24 months earlier.
The correct defense of Richard Nixon was to confess that his subordinates had done it, to name his predecessors who had done much, much worse, to apologize to the whore involved, and to point America towards her future.
Once again, Republicans are coalescing around a point (no quid-pro-quo) that the other side knows is false, and can prove is false.
Soon, they will have Republicans saying. "Well, of course, we AGREE with our friends across the aisle that IF the President offered something to the President of Ukraine, taht he deserves to be removed, BUT, we know he didn't" - and when teh bad guys produce the tape recording of the phone call they've had all along, out he goes.
Trump's proper defense is, "You're goddam right I ordered the Code Red". anything less is bound to fail.
You don’t confess with a lie. You do not try to reason with a Democrat Fascist. You beat them to death with facts
We were limited as to where we got our news from back then. Fortunately that is not the case now.
“Trump’s proper defense is, “You’re goddam right I ordered the Code Red”. anything less is bound to fail.”

Watergate was the first time the FBI (and CIA?) engineered the overthrow of an elected President.
It was like a new weapon which was never seen before, so of course, the targets were unprepared.
It proved, in spades, that a president is not his own boss. He must absolutely make sure his people control the DOJ and have power within the Intelligence Community.
In that light, I don’t think everyone realizes how precarious DJT’s position was with Sessions as his AG.
Yale graduate, secret society member, Agency connections, commissioned officer - he was a spook, almost without a doubt.
I’m surprised because I’ve never heard that before.
I will never understand this knee jerk response from the GOP to the Democrat Fascist Party lie machine is always to advocate preemptively surrendering and begging for mercy.
Exactly correct. We have been essentially ruled by the Mediacracy for 50 years, more or less. Reagan was an anomaly, he surprised them by winning, and then by winning the Cold War.
I only learned Woodward’s background in Military Intelligence about 2 years ago, it has been deliberately kept in the background by a lot of people for some time.
Woodward was born in Geneva, Illinois, the son of Jane (née Upshur) and Alfred Eno Woodward II, a lawyer who later became chief judge of the 18th Judicial Circuit Court. He was raised in nearby Wheaton, Illinois. His parents divorced when he was twelve, and he and his brother and sister were raised by their father, who subsequently remarried. [3] Woodward enrolled in Yale College with a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) scholarship and studied history and English literature. While at Yale, Woodward joined the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and was a member of the prestigious secret society Book and Snake.[4][5] He received his B.A. degree in 1965 and began a five-year tour of duty in the United States Navy.[6] During his service in the Navy, Woodward served aboard the USS Wright, and was one of two officers assigned to move or handle nuclear launch codes the Wright carried in its capacity as a NECPA.[7] At one time, he was close to Admiral Robert O. Welander, being communications officer on the USS Fox under Welander's command.[8]
After being discharged as a lieutenant in August 1970, Woodward was admitted to Harvard Law School but elected not to attend. Instead, he applied for a job as a reporter for The Washington Post while taking graduate courses in Shakespeare and international relations at George Washington University. Harry M. Rosenfeld, the Post's metropolitan editor, gave him a two-week trial but did not hire him because of his lack of journalistic experience. After a year at the Montgomery Sentinel, a weekly newspaper in the Washington, D.C., suburbs, Woodward was hired as a Post reporter in 1971.[9]
This is a great summation on Watergate, which I also lived through as a kid. Since then, the presidency itself has protected itself against this ever happening again. Nixon surrounded himself with very shady people, because he felt he had to. Terrorism was happening on our soil on a regular basis (well before 9/11). But Nixon did not have to resort to extreme tactics. He obviously had the people behind him.
Trump, with far less support but solid support nonetheless under very similar social-political circumstances, is way smarter than Nixon and knows he has the support of We The People. The Schiff Show failed on the opening day matinee, and it will only get worse. Read the Transcript. And by the way Epstein did not kill himself.
Well, yeah, because it basically makes him a traitor.
“We were limited as to where we got our news from back then. Fortunately that is not the case now.”
There was only one view available, the media’s. Nixon never had a chance. But establishing the 55 mile an hour speed limit turned a lot of people against him. Nixon was tone deaf.
Yep...it’s true, I believe! Maybe John Brennan can write an Op-ed for the Times LOL!
If the Democrats has the wherewithal and the motivation to do what you’re suggesting, then why didn’t they do it already with the whole “Russian collusion” clown show?
Second.
I think you have this almost exactly backwards. The Democrats have been doing this for at least 50 years.
Now, with social media, the Internet, and talk radio, Conservatives are able to get out the truth, which acts as a "red pill" to the MSM-Democrats virtual construction of reality.
Nixon was a super Liberal Globalist, mao loving traitor, everything that aTrump is not.
Why would anyone admit to any Democrat accusation, when the accusation will change 24 hours later?
Why would anyone even respond to an accusation from these people, or even anything that they say at all?
They. Are. Liars.
