Trump needs to stop appealing to regime lies such as Watergate, which was more similar to the Russia hoax. It doesn't work and reinforces the enemy's frame. This is closer to Waco except they aren't blowing up his children yet.
Breaking into a psychologist's office to dig up dirt on a potential political opponent, covering it up, and paying tens of thousands of dollars in hush money isn't the same as the Russia Hoax.
There was never any evidence of the alleged CompriMat that the FSB had.
The Plumbers were long-time, well-connected, political activists who had been engaging in criminal activity at least on the orders of the Nixon cabinet, were physically caught, and deliveries of hush money were absolutely made.
You can claim that Nixon didn't know, or that he was impeached on other things, but the Watergate break-in and cover-up was far more legitimate than the Russia Hoax.
Watergate was a politically motivated hit job and Nixon's only mistake was not being paranoid enough.
Nah, Nixon's mistake was allowing China to have a seat on the U.N instead of Taiwan.
Now that, I can agree with.
