Nixon's ex-WH counsel John Dean laid out 6 striking parallels between Mueller report and Watergate

Or how Nixon also used the pardon powers as leverage in order to influence cooperation, the same way Trump did.

How many are old enough to see history repeat itself?

I was here for both...and there are little parallels unless one is just trying to find something to match. Don't forget that the left screamed of Comey's firing before Trump fired him, then they screamed that Trump was trying to stop the investigation, which we all know didn't happen.

I said political opponents. I was addressing a specific part of DanDanDats post.
I did not say its not political.

Just because he could does not mean that doing so would not be just another attempt at obstructing justice.
Firing Comey was within his jurisdiction too but that does not mean he did not attempt to obstruct justice when he did it.

So one of the least transparent administrations in a long time would have let his dirty laundry be plastered all over the news and would have stood quietly by as people leaked said laundry non stop and never lifted a finger to stop it.

Except for the fact that there wasn't any.

Just because you say there wasn't any doesn't mean there wasn't any.

we just don't know how much there is yet....

we need to investigate the accusations.
