The 6 Key Similarities Between the Mueller Report and Watergate
12 June 19
ohn Dean, the former White House counsel to President Richard Nixon, testified before Congress today, making 6 key comparisons between what was revealed in the Mueller Report and the Watergate investigations. Dean explains that both Nixon and Trump both:
1) Tried to shut down the investigations completely.
2) Fired key investigators in an attempt to stop the investigation.
3) Tried to cover up their efforts to stop the investigation.
4) Sought to control investigators by ordering aides to interfere in their work.
5) Dangled presidential pardons to influence key witnesses.
6) Limited the release of key evidence to Congress and the public.
Folks, the historic parallels are clear. Trump and Nixon both sought to obstruct justice and place themselves above the law. What do you think?
