[bathroommonkey76]

Source: The Hill

Arizona Sen. John McCain (R) reportedly said Tuesday that scandals within President Trump's administration are reaching a "Watergate size and scale."

McCain made the statement at a International Republican Institute dinner on Tuesday night. Multiple reporters said that during a speech at the event, McCain compared recent reports surrounding Trump's administration to Watergate.

McCain's statement came just hours after a bombshell report that Trump asked former FBI Director James Comey inFebruary to stop his investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Trump has faced a major fallout over the last week following his surprise firing of Comey and reports that he revealed highly confidential information to Russian diplomats.

He's like a lifeguard on a lunch break who passively watches a swimmer drown and says "those bubbles indicate something is wrong. Now I see a dead body floating. That's terrible."

16. everyone of "McCains statements", about 9-11 WH corruption, his states killing of desert walkers,

2008 primary statements about Republicans birther attacks against Obama, everyone of his statements has been totally ignored by his fellow Republicans.

Your home state and the white house is worse off today because McCain has NEVER done enough to actually stop the corrupt "actions". Your words are so cheap Senator McCain! WEAK WORDS!

18. It reached Watergate size and scale a long time ago!

This is 100,000,000,000 times worse than Watergate!

[argyl]

19. These days Watergate would have Repub clowns on Sunday talk shows laughing it off as a trifle.

This is treason. Republicans connected with this could die in prison or even be hung.
This gang of rats will soon be looking for the best deal they can for themselves and then the levees will break.
