Donald Trump’s dealings with Russia could be a bigger political scandal than Watergate, according to one of America’s most experienced political journalists.
“Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, until maybe now,” former CBS news anchor Dan Rather said, in a post on Facebook. “It was the closest we came to a debilitating Constitutional crisis, until maybe now.”
“On a 10 scale of Armageddon for our form of government, I would put Watergate at a 9,” said Mr Rather, who won acclaim for his coverage, as a White House correspondent, of the scandal that led to President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974. “This Russia scandal is currently somewhere around a 5 or 6, in my opinion, but it is cascading in intensity seemingly by the hour.”

Yup. Flynn is a scapegoat. He was working on Trump's behalf and he was thrown under the bus ... took one for his boss. The wrong person resigned.
Why would you care ? you want to see Trump impeached , don't you ?As Trump's security fiascos mount, Flynn's exit fails to bolster 'make America safe again' pledge - World - CBC News
'Trainwreck' of national-security decisions throws into doubt president's pledge to protect America
This, it turns out, is what happens when U.S. President Donald Trump conducts the prudent business of "making America safe again."
A scramble to plug leaks detailing shambolic phone calls from the "leakiest" White House in modern presidential history.
Then, an impromptu crisis session over iceberg wedge salads at Trump's Mar-a-Lago restaurant in Florida, conducted in full view of gawking diners eager to record on smartphones what should be a classified meeting.
It is, of course, completely trivial.
And yet his closest advisers go on TV and tell everybody provable lies and expose their fascist leanings, like that creepy Steve Miller guy. His little outburst was straight out of Hitler's play book. But I can well understand why Locust loves the Trumpster's gang.
so much angst. :lol:
The alternative to Trump if there is an alternative?
He's way, way to the right of Trump but he appears to be sane, something that the current President is clearly not.
Don't bet your first born!![]()
Says the guy who spends most of his time vilifying anybody who is not a white, right wing nut.y'alls need a relaxing soak.
A you living in a cave?I wish Trump would tell the Senators of both parties and anyone else who wants to be involved to 'go ahead and investigate. Investigate until your brains are fried!
In the meantime I am going to move on with more pressing issues.
Don't bother me any more with allegations, suspicions, could be, likely was, indications are, strongly suggests, we think, etc. When you can come up with absolute proof of what you are looking for in black and white beyond any doubt then we will talk.'
So far it is all conjecture, nothing definite. It has become a soap opera carried to the extreme and people are sick of hearing about it. All we're hearing is 'we don't know for sure but we think......' and 'why would he say this if.....' and 'we need to know.......'.
