Donald Trump's behavior is 'eminently Nixon-ian,' former deputy assistant attorney general says about MuellerReport

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s full report shows President Donald Trump’s behavior is “eminently Nixon-ian,” former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Elliot Williams said Thursday.

“Everything about Don McGahn in this report is incredibly striking, because of the incredibly awkward position that the president puts McGahn in repeatedly,” Williams said, detailing information about the president’s interactions with McGahn laid out in the document. McGahn “was in a position to tell the president ‘no’ and that seems to be the cardinal sin in this White House,” the legal expert argued.

“It doesn’t stretch logic to find that you also had a president who was verging on paranoid of all the institutions of government, and the people around him, and his attorneys, and his national security community and on and on and on,” Williams explained. “And so, there is eminently Nixon-ian behavior here that we’re seeing,” he asserted.

“You know who else was concerned about leaks, Richard Nixon,” Toobin said. “And he set up a group called the Plumbers – get it plumbers, leaks – and it was illegal. And it was one of the reasons he was impeached and the idea that being frustrated by leaks is exculpatory is exactly backwards.”

Donald Trump failed to influence investigation largely because aides refused to listen to him: Mueller reportDonald Trump failed to influence investigation largely because aides refused to listen to him: MuellerReport So the republicans response will be just because someone wants to commit a crime, doesn’t mean a crime was committed. Donald tried to get middlemen to do crimes for him.....that should still be an impeachable offense. The next move is getting a FULL unredacted version of the report to the Judical Committee. Then talk to Mueller and Barr under oath, then Impeach or force to Resign . A Mueller style investigation: Drs found bruising of the vagina and anus, semen genetically identified Trump, Melania walked in on Trump and the victim, victim identified Melania as she turned and walked out. No finding as Trump cannot be indicted. RepJerryNadler
