To refresh my memory (which isn't as bad as AG's) I just read a few synopses of the Watergate scandal-and the parallels to this are just so similar it is amazing.
True, there are no "actual" crimes being committed, but in other aspects this whole administration is covering up a "bugging" of the Justice Department on a wide scale.
Instead of break-ins, they replaced US Attorneys to stop investigations of law-breaking Republicans. The President has not refused to turn over requested documents yet, but he refuses to let senior WH aides tesify. Nixon did that..and lost the battle badly.
Those missing e-mails could be the 18 minutes of tape that were lost, and the operatives in the WH who were using the RNC email accounts were breaking the law.
There are a lot of questions Gonzales refused to answer because he couldn't remember the time or place of what he did. What a fool!
Covering up for the boss is one thing-lying to protect him is worse. The last time, most of the perpetrators landed up in prison.
This is better than Watergate, and more serious.
