Podesta actually taunts Trump in his Tweet comparing Comey's firing to the incident that finally brought down the Nixon administration, though they are not the same. Podesta is bold, or is he scared?. (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Laskar

Apparently Podesta is confident that he is untouchable--he is getting very bold in his Tweets.

Podesta taunted Trump with this Tweet, comparing it to Nixon's Watergate scandal:

By comparing the firing of Comey with President Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre", Podesta is alluding to how the Nixon administration was brought down during the Watergate scandal.

Nixon fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox and there were resignations to follow. Of course, the exaggerated term "Saturday Night Massacre" was an invention of political commentators.

Those of an age to recall Nixon and this "massacre" know that this was the final straw in bringing down the Nixon presidency, so Podesta's use of this comparison would indicate his hopes of the firing of Comey having the same effect on the Trump presidency.

Of course firing the FBI head at the urging of the attorney general, and assistant attorney general is nothing the same as firing a special prosecutor. The letters from Trumps advisors are reproduced in this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.html

Podesta's Tweet has gone viral with many chiming in. Here are some examples:

Trump firing Comey, Yates, and Bahara is LITERALLY the same thing as Nixon's Saturday night massacre.

bopper ago

That's melodramatic. People be like laughing at this comparison. Besides, Watergate was a coup, read Russ Baker's book. Nixon was scared to death that night, for his life.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

He fired the people investigating him.

That's LITERALLY what Nixon did too.

Facts aren't melodramatic.

And you should probably read Bakers book, the supposed "coup" attempt came AFTER Watergate broke.

Highcard ago

Congress is investigating him. Comey's collection of evidence is over. Good riddance... he was incompetent... said not to prosecute Hillary for spamming classified info to huma, Weiner and probably Blumenthal..because she didn't "intend" to break the law. Well, I didn't intend to speed, so I shouldn't get a ticket... right.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

😐😐😐

If Obama has fired Comey two days before he was set to testify about Clintons emails, what you just said would be relevant.

Of course, that didn't happen.

bopper ago

That was a "constitutional crisis" and you could feel the fear and tension in the streets and in the air. If what Trump did becomes a "constitutional crisis" I will retract.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Volatility hasn't been a hallmark of this years election cycle?

And we have a president with NOW OBVIOUS ties to a foreign power firing folks with evidence of such.

That's about as "constitutional crisis"-y as you're gonna get.

Intheknow ago

How old are you? Unless you were living and old enough to remember (not read) you dont know what the hell your talking about.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

LMAO.

You really think I'm going to waste my time on someone who thinks books are useless?

Intheknow ago

Not going to tell are you? Books are great. But you can read anything into sentences and take away anything from it you want. Unless you have lived through it you'll never have a clear understanding of it.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Nixon asked his AG and DAG to fire the SP investigating Watergate.

Both resigned in protest. The third in command followed the order and fired the SP.

That's not a situation that's open to interpretation dipshit.

bopper ago

You've just illustrated how the situations are completely different.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

No... That's not how that works kiddo...

bopper ago

No Watergate, kiddo.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

You people really need to get off YouTube and read a few books...

bopper ago

You're right I should. But it's hard for me to concentrate, too much insomnia. Watching instead of reading is easier right now. I want to read The Devil's Chessboard. Have you read my friend's book Me and Lee? By Judyth Vary Baker? Have you watched The Garrison Tapes? Two Men in Dallas? Evidence of Revision? Great stuff.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

You know Judy Baker? I do recommend The Devils Chessboard.

It's a lot of conjecture but does bring up some interesting questions.

Evidence of Revision is good stuff as well. Really gives you a good perspective on JFKs assassination.

bopper ago

Yeah I like Evidence of Revision, good rare clips. I'm friends with Judyth on facebook and talk to her occasionally. Sometimes argue. Over James Files and David Lifton whom she's mad at. Thanks for the input on "Chessboard," was hoping it wouldn't be too much conjecture but what do you expect. I know Chauncey Holt's daughter and many others. (The 3 tramps.) She's in Beverly Hills, don't know why.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Me and Lee is insane. Her story really seems genuine. Does tie everything together pretty elegantly too.

So you just a middle man to the dark side of US history lol...

bopper ago

Seems that way (me) but wife thinks I'm crazy. Judyth is a little eccentric, but I believe she's the real deal.

She's the one that tipped off Roger Stone to Cruz's dad (Nat'l Enquirer), and Stone took it to Trump, and everybody got it all twisted and linked Cruz w/ Oswald as a "bad guy."

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Anybody with the balls to tell a story like hers probably is a little eccentric lol.

That's crazy!! So she had the pic of Poppa Cruz and Oswald together?

bopper ago

I gotta run but you should watch this (if you're interested only). Pretty neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvjGYNJir-c

Intheknow ago

Historian?

Intheknow ago

And at least Trump fired him, unlike killary who would have had him shot in the back of the head while he was taking a walk.

ArthurEdens ago

There's no proof there's investigation going on. Only msm says there is and their track record is not great

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

This doesn't even deserve a response.

bopper ago

His response needed no response. So why'd you respond?

ArthurEdens ago

haha

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

This is what we're doing now?

ArthurEdens ago

Shitzmcbob, remember when William Sessions was fired as FBI director right when he was about to launch an investigation on Clinton?

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Sessions was already in Clintons pocket.

How do you think Clinton knew about the money he "stole"?

Aside from that... What's your point?

ArthurEdens ago

Short of murdering him, Sessions was framed to get him out. Please.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

They didn't murder him BECAUSE he took the money.

You don't kill people who've put themselves in compromising positions.

ArthurEdens ago

You're saying he accepted a bribe? How could he refuse? Say no and get murdered.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Or just say no and step down...

ArthurEdens ago

...if he actually accepted any money

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

First reports were independent of any government office.

If I remember correctly the story was actually broken by a journalist who was basically given carte blanche to FBI records by Sessions himself.

ArthurEdens ago

...and journalists never lie

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Dude...

You have two very real conspiracies staring at you, each originating on either side of the political spectrum.

I'm genuinely asking you people to consider the gravity of this situation, and stop waiting for a fucking hero to come along and make everything better.

ArthurEdens ago

Hey man, I'm ready to fight, there's just not enough people yet

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Then get some more.

Quit alienating folks by making this about politics. It's a very real situation with VERY real consequences.

ArthurEdens ago

Man, i was only chiming into the dogfight about politics you had going on, you got to take your own advice

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Can't call it a political dogfight because I'm not promoting any candidate and/or official.

I think they're all shit.

I'm just trying to add some common sense perspective to the situation.

Edit: You are right though. My approach is a little hard headed.

ArthurEdens ago

Ugh dude you get wrapped up in your own bubble too much and quibble about semantics

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

I'll give you the first one but I make a effort to avoid semantic arguments...

Where'd i make one of those?

ArthurEdens ago

doesn't matter, have a good one

bopper ago

Ties to a foreign power? They keep saying that but offer no proof, you know that. "Obvious ties?" Are you shillin'?

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

YOU DON'T FIRE THE GUY INVESTIGATING YOU FOR SOMETHING YOU PRAISED HIM FOR IF YOU'RE INNOCENT!

Intheknow ago

Hillary Clinton

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

So if Clinton does it it's treason.

If Trump does it it's "a long time coming".

Know what cognitive dissonance is?

Intheknow ago

Yawn

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Typical dissonant response...

Intheknow ago

You going to cry now? Hillarys house of cards is crumbling down and alot of somebodies are going to be facing a whole lot of pissed off people who are going to demand they answer for their crimes.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

.......

😅😅😅

It's just a coincidence the only folks fired are the ones who showed the white house evidence of Russian collusion within the Trump administration....

Hope you find a use for that extra chromosome there bud.

Intheknow ago

👍👌

bopper ago

I'm not concerned about it. Comey was a weasel and that was on display for all to see. I hope this turns into a circus, we need one, besides, it's been boring for far too long. Thanks for the convo. Howdy Doody time.

bopper ago

The coup was probably in the works a while. A lot of things had gone down before the massacre, the country was reeling, it wasn't the same, it was a much darker time. This is the official MSM line you're espousing. Do you remember Watergate, the massacre, and the hearings?

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Yeah, I know the situation pretty well.

That does nothing to discredit the fact THE GUY JUST FIRED THE LEAD INVESTIGATOR INTO HIMSELF!

That's EXACTLY what Nixon did.

Intheknow ago

Jeez Here I thought he was investigating Killary emails. What I miss? I sure would like to know what bills wife has to say about this.

bopper ago

The lead investigator of a nonsensical phony Russian spy story that even the dems have denounced. Until tonight. Not Watergate. Nixon had something to hide (though we don't know how much he knew), Trump has no Russian dirt on him. Not Watergate. That was a "constitutional crisis." as I said, if this reaches Watergate status I'll retract and apologize. But in a way let's hope it does.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Who denounced it?

Every day we get more info on obvious ties and you people still refuse to acknowledge it.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so maddening...

bopper ago

Feinstein denounced it. (Russian hacking.) I wouldn't let it "madden" you. What info are we getting every day? I must be missing it.

Intheknow ago

ClintonNewsNetwork

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

Imagine Obama fires Comey two days before he's set to testify about Clinton Emails...

I'd have shit myself then too...

Feinstein didn't denounce anything.

bopper ago

The Russians "hacked" the election? Why am I talking to you?

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

What?

Intheknow ago

You know how to troll a troll?

bopper ago

Listen up. That PizzagateIsRetarded guy is down below. Go give him "what for." And peace out.

shizzle_mcbobblehead ago

You're weird son...

bopper ago

Call me sir. You're slouching lady. You're still slouching. Yes I am weird.

kestrel9 ago

That's what I was wondering, it's a troll.

Dude be wastin' mah time!
