I lived through Watergate and hated Nixon. There are 2 similarities in my opinion:

[Stuart G]

1. Private Server...reminds me of the 15 minute gap in the tape. Why? How could there be a gap, without somebody erasing the tape?..Private server?- How could there be a "Private Server" unless they wanted to cover something up? Kind of like covering up something by erasing a tape

2. Comment by Trump, something like, "I thought after the Mueller Report that it was all over"....In my mind, that compares with, Nixon's statement, "I am not a crook" Why? Nixon was pretty sure it was over until the gap was found and discussed and became major news, or "the news".... Then he had to defend himself again with the crook statement

"All over comment." Trump's arrogance was increased after the he escaped the Mueller Report scandal. Trump was totally sure that he could "get away" with what had happened. He has admitted that there was something serious to "be all over of" and he had gotten away with it. (my opinion)

..Trump is like Nixon because he had to defend himself again...I thought it was over is that proof. (Now Trump has to defend himself another time) Nixon is indeed defending himself towards the end, again, (another time, after, another time, after another time) with, ...."I am not a crook" ...His last defense as the sh*t hits the fan.
Trump's latest statement as the sh*t hits the fan is , "I thought it was all over"...(kind of like desperation) as Nixon's desperation about being a crook.

While most won't agree with me, this is the way it feels to me. When Nixon said "I am not a crook" it was proof to me, he was indeed a crook. Trump says "I thought it was over with the Mueller report) is proof that Trump doesn't realize that what he did after the Mueller report is worse than that report. That covering up is worse than an event itself. Another statement by the crook, Trump, on another event. Another defense on another event that is being called, "dishonest or illegal" Now he has to defend himself again. Just like Nixon had to defend himself again.

I know some do not see the connection, but that is how I feel. Thank You for reading this...One last thought, Nixon was a crook, and so is Trump.

1. And of course Trump and all those around him

flat-out lied about the contents of the Mueller Report and delayed its release far too long.

I was around during Watergate, living in the DC area in fact. I knew it was all over, just a matter of time, when Nixon called Ehrlichman and Haldeman "Two of the finest public servants I have known" when they were resigning because of what they'd done in Watergate.
