    Holy shit. Right from Nixon's faulty playbook.

      Everyone knows you never go full Nixon.

        Nixon never fired the director of the FBI, so even Nixon knew better than to go full Trump.

            Now we know Deep Throat was an FBI assistant director. One could make the case the FBI fired Nixon.

              And if Trump, like Nixon, is tying to cover up, that is the angle that will get him.

              That's what this country needs by God. Better dead than Red. Where is a "Tail gunner Joe" when you need one.

        Yes, Sessions was fired, but then again he himself was under investigation for tax evasion, graft, and misuse of funds. We say 'under investigation for,' but we could just say 'guilty of.'
