“As I’ve said before, if Trump was innocent he’d be saying “I feel sure that a full and fair investigation will clear my name.” Instead he’s trying to get the investigation stopped. His claims of bias against him are not supported by facts. Mueller is a conservative Republican. The fact that most of the people on his staff are democrats proves nothing. There is no evidence of bias.
History repeats itself. In part because human nature rarely changes. Trump may turn out to be Nixon II.
“Reporters and political commentators often express frustrated surprise at the steadfast support of President Donald Trump from most Republicans in the House and Senate. But they shouldn't — it has happened before.
In fact, when these critics refer back to the Watergate era as a time of bipartisan commitment to the rule of law over politics, they get it exactly wrong. Defending the president at all costs, blaming investigators and demonizing journalists were all part of the Republican playbook during the political crisis leading up to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
Despite the fact that 32 people and three companies have been indicted so far by the special counsel, Robert Mueller, only four of 11 Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee joined Senate Democrats earlier this year in an effort to protect Mueller's investigation. The House majority leader, Kevin McCarthy of California, said in June that he thinks "the Mueller investigation has got to stop." Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and the House Intelligence Committee chairman, Devin Nunes of California, have joined Trump in calling the investigation a "witch hunt."
Dispiriting, perhaps, but not shocking or unprecedented. In late 1972, when a Democratic congressman, Wright Patman of Texas, began to investigate connections between Nixon's aides and the Watergate burglary, the House Republican leader, Gerald Ford of Michigan (who later succeeded Nixon as president), called it a "political witch hunt," according to historian Stanley I. Kutler in his book "The Wars of Watergate."
Ford wasn't alone, and the countercharges didn't end even as the evidence piled up. After reporters revealed close ties between the Watergate burglars and Nixon's administration and re-election campaign, Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas jumped to the president's defense. He labeled the media accounts "a barrage of unfounded and unsubstantiated allegations by George McGovern" — whom Nixon defeated in the 1972 election — "and his partner in mud-slinging, The Washington Post."
For one of our projects in college, we decided to collect charity for a local old age home that could do with some renovations and upgrades. And what better way is there than to spread the word by social media and posters? So, we had some posters designed for an affordable price and were able to get the word out to some people. We didn’t get as much as we wanted to but still got some good amount to help out the elders and at the same time, bring attention to the fact that we should look after our elders. Thank you for that!
