| Clapper sez Trump-Russia Worse then Watergate |
| 2017-06-07 |
| The Watergate scandal, considered one of the greatest political scandals of the twentieth century, refers to the U.S. government's involvement in a range of illegal activities under the Nixon administration, including a break-in at the Democratic National Committee's Watergate headquarters. In a speech to Australia's National Press Club Wednesday, Clapper said, "I have to say though that I think when you compare the two, Watergate pales, really, in my view, compared to what we're confronting now." A little premature, wouldn't you say, General? Weren't the Watergate burglars caught by the police doing something illegal? Anybody caught Trump on the wrong side of a locked door? |

| #3 Further proof that Clapper was a traitorous political asshole, not actually service to his country, but to his ideology instead. His deliberate blindness to Obama's use of intel and ignoring the law is abominable and unforgivable. In a just world, we would have left office head first through the window of the upper floot. |

| #2 He's right, the fact that Obama allowed the demasking of Trump surveillance under the Russian pretext is a crime far worse than Watergate. |

| #1 On the other hand, I thought Watergate was way overblown, not significantly different than things done by administrations before and since; it's just that media/people cared. |
