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)

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:

I think Podesta has always thought he could openly flaunt his behavior and get away with it because Hillary was suppose to have been POTUS. He would have been protected, now.....not so much. If I was him and several other people, I would be thinking about that noose tightening just a wee bit more.

The ones who are at the top are so far above Podesta, but he imagines himself to be greater because he has got away with so much evil already. Look at that interview where he admits to being a cannibal and no one called him on it.

No doubt that's why all this Twitter propaganda aimed at those who know nothing of Watergate except what is online now. It is so completely different.

Sauce?

During the campaign, in his office, the interviewer asked Podesta about the only painting he had on his wall. The painting shows two men about to eat a third on laid out on a table.

Podesta was asked why there was a picture of cannibalism in his office.

Podesta replied, I think it is better to be the man with fork, than the one on the table."

Now this was before pizzagate broke.
