Watergate vs Trumpgate...One similarity of major importance.. [View all]

...When word got out that all conversations in the White House were recorded...that is .."all conversations in 1973 when the break in happened, it seemed to me,... that was it.
.I think the fellow that reported it was Alexander Butterfield..or something like that ..(it was a while ago..you know)..........The hearings were held in 1974...

...When that was reported, and we all knew that all that would come out eventually, the die was cast...There was indeed a blank spot on a key conversation, but Nixon's secretary said she erased it by mistake...I recall that too....Of course by the time all this was being reported, the die was cast,,,,We all felt Nixon was going to be gone...

...This one, about ....."Trump doing Nothing "...feels the same to me. I would say it is not ..."if" , I think is now......"when"?

Trump did ."...NOTHING..." to protect U.S. Soldiers from a plot to kill them. Trump knew in March, this is late June...Trump claims he didn't know, but he must have been told, that is his job.."Commander in Chief"..
To think he was not told, goes beyond any kind of rational thinking...He had to be told. Trump saying that he wasn't told, is like saying today...that the..."Earth is Flat"...look out there..does not look to be round, must be ."..very flat......" ...says Donald Dump...
