35. No, what Trump has just done is worse than watergate.

May 2017

Comey did throw the election, however, he did it because he is spineless and caved to pressure. That Trump did today was thumb his nose at our laws in a big way (he's done this before, but this is BIG). What Comey did does not even compare to Watergate. It was bad, and will hurt our country for years to come. We are in the midst of a coup - c'mon, we all knew this was coming. Republicans finally stopped at absolutely nothing to subvert our Constitution for their own gain. I stand against this, and all of them.
