Except it took months for the Watergate scandal to be linked definitively to the presidents staff.
Today everything moves forward at rocket speed compared to the 1970s and this is no exception.

(985 posts)just seemed like some minor burglary that wasn't connected to the President. It wasn't until John Dean refused to perjure himself and told the Watergate committee that Nixon frequently spoke to the bookcases and he suspected they were being recorded, that things really heated up.

It just feels so uncomfortably familiar. It would be sweet if the pukes have to toss their own buffoon out of office after what they did to President Clinton. I have always felt that was retribution for Nixon. If Flynn is not guilty of breaking the *Logan act he certainly should get the same punishment as Martha Stewart for lying to federal agents.
