Dan Rather: "Trump's Russia Scandal Could Be Bigger Than Watergate"
ZeroHedge ^ | February 15, 2017

Posted on 02/15/2017 3:00:17 PM PST by Zakeet

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather slammed the Trump administration on Tuesday evening for its association with former national security adviser Mike Flynn, claiming "this Russia scandal" might end up being as "big as Watergate."

As Rather wrote in a Facebook post ...

Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, until maybe now. It was the closest we came to a debilitating Constitutional crisis, until maybe now. On a 10 scale of armageddon for our form of government, I would put Watergate at a 9. This Russia scandal is currently somewhere around a 5 or 6, in my opinion, but it is cascading in intensity seemingly by the hour. And we may look back and see, in the end, that it is at least as big as Watergate. It may become the measure by which all future scandals are judged. It has all the necessary ingredients, and that is chilling.

[Snip]

As a reminder, Rather, who conservatives have long accused of having a liberal bias, retired in 2005 from the anchor's chair after his flawed stories on George W. Bush's Air National Guard service record.

Not because of the actual break-in, but because of the 1970’s version of Deep State that set Nixon up.

What has Dan Rather got to say about the 3 brothers who were the real hackers of the DNC? Or are they going to beat this ‘russia’ thing to death?

If the Congressional GOP had the guts to open up the Clinton Foundation like a can of worms Americans would see the most outrageous scandal of their lifetimes.

This isn’t funny. These people are dead serious and they intend to depose Trump. If you think it won’t happen, I believe you’re fooling yourself. The left holds the real power in government and the media. Many Republican politicians hate Trump just as much as the Democrats do. They are all looking for a way to impeach him. I’m afraid.
