Consortium News’ Record on Russiagate—How CN Covered the ‘Scandal’: No. 7: ‘Russiagate Is No Watergate or Iran-Contra’
Many comparisons have been made between Russiagate and the earlier scandals of Watergate and Iran-Contra, but the similarities are at best superficial, explained Robert Parry on June 28, 2017.
Though the site has informed me the glitch has been fixed, I am still unable to copy and paste from home on my lap top.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The scandals of Watergate and Iran-Contra are far and away bigger. This time the difference involves a foreign country doing to us what we been doin' other nations. The one glaring thing is so many intelligence sources claim Russia did interfere in the 2016 election. The report shows trump and his people may not have actively participated but it does not explain all the lying. It is clear through various social media venues Russia was able to reach over 50% of eligible voters. Did those videos and such influence how they voted? Guess we can never know that answer.
We villify Nixon and not Bush or Reagan. Many deaths can be laid at the feet of those three.

@powder You apparently have not been exposed to some of the ignorant people who believed the crap russia and probably other countries have put on social media. Yes we have some lousy 'allies' and we have done more than our share of meddling. Does not mean I have to like when we are meddled with. Does not mean I have to sit quiet and not say anything. Israel, now there is a real basket of crap for ya. Social media has a huge influence on the ignorant in this country and sadly they soemtimes vote based on ignorance.
@powder ditto. One just has to keep asking questions and exposing the lies.
