“'Joe Biden is not Richard Nixon, and the hiding and cover-up of his deterioration is not Watergate,’ Morgan said, quoting from the book. "I am not entirely sure I agree, Jake, with that conclusion.” //

“It is a scandal. It is without question – and maybe even worse than Watergate in some ways,” Tapper confessed. “Because Richard Nixon was in control of his faculties when he was not drinking.”

“This is an entirely separate scandal,” he added. “Maybe even worse … maybe even worse.” //

Here's the thing - Tapper is trying to convince people that the media simply missed the Biden story. That the daily videos and transcripts coming out showing Biden mumbling and bumbling about didn't cause a lightbulb to go off in their heads that 'Hey, maybe we should start digging a little more on this.'

How bad is everybody in your profession today that you missed the biggest White House deception in American political history, Jake?

Making this even more amusing is that Tapper, currently fancying himself an investigative journalist, only had to check old reels from his network to find that a Watergate reporter himself, Carl Bernstein, had sounded the alarm about Biden's cognitive decline - and revealed that it had been ongoing for almost two years before the presidential debate. //

There are only two conclusions to be drawn here - either Tapper and CNN contributed to a cover-up worse than Watergate, or they're staggeringly inept. //

Hiring people to put bugs in the DNC offices in the Watergate complex was rarely talked about during the entirety of the Watergate scandal. It was, and it always is, the cover-up that gets these scoundrels. And the country wouldn't have really known about the Watergate cover-up if Nixon aide Alexander Butterfield hadn't blurted out in a hearing that all the conversations in the Oval Office, including phone calls, were tape recorded. That's the match that lit the fire that brought Nixon down.

What Biden's aides, and their pet rocks in the feckless press, all conspired to do was outright Sedition and classic Insurrection. They sought to negate the will of the American people because these seditionists didn't like the chose the people made. If the Congress, the DOJ and the FBI don't take this seriously and find out who the culprits are and deal with them accordingly, the very foundations of our Republic are gone. //

I'll give you odds that Fake Yapper doesn't even understand what Watergate was. Otherwise he wouldn't conflate the two scandals.

Watergate was basically a champaign hustle, more attune to Russiagate, where an advantage in an election was sought. Coupgate was the actual overthrown of an elected administration hidden from the American people with the cooperation of the deep state, MSM, the executive departments, Congress to an extent, and probably to a degree some foreign agents.

The difference was Coupgate was intended to preserve 'democracy' and Tapper agreed with it all the way. Hence the coverup. Also, Coupgate was covered up by the press (and Tapper) while Watergate was 'exposed' by the press. Compare the roles of Tapper vs. Woodward/Bernstein. //
