This is so much worse [View all]

Watergate was about a third rate burglary and the subsequent coverup by the president. Many people went to prison but at its core, the whole thing now sounds so quaint. Quite simply, Mr. I Am Not A Crook was, indeed, a crook.

The Lewinsky affair was about a second rate blowjob and a diddle with a cigar. The meaning of a two letter word and that word's parsing played heavily. At its core our rogue president was proved to have been . . . a scalawag.

The Putin affair (or whatever it will come to be called) is about collusion with a national enemy. It is about letting agents of a foreign government into the highest and most secret inner workings of our government. There is, as yet, simply no telling how much of our national security has already been compromised and given to our sworn national enemy. When you stop and think about parallels, names like Benedict Arnold, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Aldrich Ames, and Robert Hanssen come to mind.

This is so, SO much worse. Russia allowed inside the White House. INVITED into the Oval Office while the US media was barred. Putin offering a conversation transcript to demonstrate what a sweet guy Trump is.

Chew on that for a while.
