There are many incidents in the political world that bear scrutiny, like stolen elections, election fraud, ‘caging’ and so on but let me whittle it down to just one, which has been nagging at me for many months.

Lets think for a moment; what was the purpose of the burglary into the oppositions’ offices in the Watergate scandal, and why was it, when it was found out, such a scandal?

First of all, the purpose was to dig up some dirt on the opposition so as to blackmail them in using their vote, right?

People were outraged at this blatant manipulation of Members of Congress, and rightly so.

So things dragged on for a while and then, as I remember, (and I am not a student of what went on), there was the 18 minute blank tape of the Whitehouse conversations, the record keeping of which was written into law.

And that fact alone, in my humble opinion, was the last straw that brought Nixon down.

Any errors of fact or in reasoning in the above, I would gladly be corrected on.

Now, fast forward to the Bush Regime.

Some or most of the people surrounding Bush were there when Nixon went down, so they know first-hand, so to speak, just what not to do, to keep their nefarious ways out of the public eye, right?

So, 18 minutes of blank tape = 5,000 emails, no?

They circumvented the Whitehouse email system by installing a Republican Party site (illegal) and began to do Whitehouse business, in massive amounts on this illegal email system.

When this came to light, and before the Congress committee requested the emails in an investigation, the emails ‘accidentally’ became subject to the delete button.

Again I say, 18 minutes of blank tape = 5,000 emails.

Now, why was the tape blank for 18 minutes?

Because it contained, and everyone should ponder that, it would have incriminated the President and showed his knowledge and complicit involvment in the Watergate Burglary. It was accepted then and went without saying, and it is what brought him down.
