Former President Donald Trump has surpassed Richard Nixon as the poster child of corruption, according to Watergate sleuths Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.
The pair, famous for how they helped expose the Watergate scandal in the Nixon administration nearly 50 years ago, were again published by the Washington Post on Sunday, days ahead of when the House committee investigating the Capitol riot is scheduled to hold the first in a series of summer hearings, calling Trump the first "seditious" president.
Whereas "instruments of American democracy finally stopped Nixon dead in his tracks, forcing the only resignation of a president in American history," Woodward and Bernstein write that Trump "not only sought to destroy the electoral system through false claims of voter fraud and unprecedented public intimidation of state election officials, but he also then attempted to prevent the peaceful transfer of power to his duly elected successor, for the first time in American history."
Trump, who has denied responsibility for the Capitol riot, engaged in a "deception that exceeded even Nixon’s imagination," they wrote, referring to the 45th president's efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election.
Woodward and Bernstein draw a direct line between Trump's actions and the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the day lawmakers gathered to certify Joe Biden's presidential victory, with former Vice President Mike Pence presiding and refusing to play along with any bid to overturn the election's outcome.

Who and who? Go away.
By running their mouths making this false accusation, they are confirming that they are, in fact, a part of the sedition conspiracy: the conspiracy to steal the election of Donald Trump in 2020 and keep it covered up. They are guilty of the accusation they are making.
Woodward and Bernstein miffed because Watergate was nothing compared to a rigged election they didn’t see coming.
Neither one of them has had a clue in their life.
Couldn’t we brand their views and activism disguised as journalism in light of history exactly what they accuse of Trump?
