The Obama Administration’s surveillance of the Trump campaign and transition teams , if true, is an egregious criminal act. It makes Watergate look like child’s play. Watergate happened over 40 years ago. It was a GOP Administration at the time that was under investigation. Congressional Republicans cooperated admirably and fully in the nationally televised Senate Watergate Committee hearings which captivated a nation, and fully supported the appointment and work of Special Prosecutors Archibald Cox, then Leon Jaworski. It was Republican Senator Howard Baker who famously posed the question on national television, “What did the president know, and when did he know it?” The two-year long “national nightmare” culminated in the resignation of President Richard Nixon. In the end, it was an elite group of Republican stalwarts including Senators Hugh Scott and Barry Goldwater, and House Minority Leader Carl Albert, that made the somber journey up Pennsylvania Avenue to tell President Nixon the jig was up. In addition to the GOP, the media, led by the Washington Post, were like a pack of bloodhounds in unearthing the truth, using a composite of highly placed sources known as “Deep Throat.” And White House Counsel John Dean turned state’s evidence and sang like a canary at the Senate hearings.
