“The end justifies the means.”

“We’re doing it for your own good.”

That’s how every abuse of power begins - its perpetrators convincing themselves their intentions are good and they want to make things better.

In reality, like Lord Acton warned us, “absolute power corrupts and corrupts absolutely.”

Watergate was a small-time burglary. This is using the power of the nation’s federal law enforcement agencies for partisan political gain.

Its the Mother Of All Scandals. The fake Russian Collusion is peanuts next to it.

Interesting comment. To wit: the recent comment of James Clapper who has proclaimed that planting a spy in an American President campaign organization is a good thing.
