Today marks the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's resignation announcement in the wake of the Watergate scandal. As MSNBC's Steve Benen has pointed out, for more than five years, conservatives have invoked Watergate in an attempt to amplify the importance of numerous scandals of the day involving President Obama.
No Obama "scandals" have matched the vast criminality involved with Watergate. The New York Times noted of Watergate's reach: "Entangled in that skein were dozens of men implicated in the scandal, many of whom were top aides to the President.
As it steadily unwound, the American people watched a parade of witnesses expose the details of a political crime whose proportions were nearly unfathomable: wiretapping, money laundering, destruction of documents, payment of hush money, character assassination, disinformation and deception -- all perpetrated by people at the highest levels of Government. More than 30 people pleaded guilty or were convicted of crimes like perjury, burglary, wiretapping and obstruction of justice."
okay this appears to be a republic talking slam that has gone horribly or hilariously awry, we know they are bad at math so keeping count of the comparison is a given but to compare it to everything that is not only illogical it's stupid not even everything they've done compares to one event in their history law of averages would not bear that out as it is less of a chance it would compare to Pres. he's really not a crook compared to Nixon and his Watergate.
ps. nobody pleaded guilty to anything Bengazi or otherwise, but Watergate 30 republicans did.
