you guys broke watergate
Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette?

We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: https://wapo.st/4dwx0LS

Makes watergate look like checkers
Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

Totally agree — except it’s BIGGER than Watergate.

making tulsi gabbard DNI is itself a watergate level scandal
Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.
Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency
Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

watergate was in 1972
One of the most exhausting things here is the idea that one thing leads to the next thing without any time in between. Bork was turfed in 1987. Would it have mattered? I don't know. But I do know that the Bork drama helped pave the way for a win-at-all-costs mentality, and Dems helped that.
I'm 45. Democrats have been trying to meet Republicans halfway my entire life. Do you sincerely believe that compromising on Bork would've prevented McConnell from kiboshing Garland's nomination? Would've prevented the rise of Trump and MAGA? Come on.

Watergate, but if someone was killed.
NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

The Epstein files must make Watergate look like a parking ticket.

Richard Nixon, spinning in Hell, can't believe he resigned over Watergate.

BIGGER THAN WATERGATE!

We are headed toward a US constitutional crisis vastly bigger than Watergate

Watergate
👇🎯 Unprecedented crimes & constitutional failures now happening daily, because not enough people went to jail & ended up broke for all the massive crimes & unconstitutional things from Iran-Contra to GWB’s entire presidency to Trump I to January 6.
This is an enormous theft—not just privatizing a government function with a worse and more expensive for-profit substitute, but also a massive government financial data heist—and on the other side of it everyone needs to end up broke and imprisoned to deter them and others from doing it again.

This is far worse than WATERGATE!!

The Washington Post once got attention by cracking and exposing Watergate. Now, it's going viral with articles about whether you should drink iced coffee at interviews. What a comedown.

Watergate was a pimple on a dog's Ass compared to this shit.

I saw a reference to Watergate and almost laughed out loud. Watergate wouldn’t break the top 10 scandals this month, let alone ending a presidency.

Watergate was child's play.
