Carl Bernstein: Ukraine Whistleblower Story Has ‘Echoes of Watergate’

Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” network political analyst Carl Bernstein said if President Donald Trump asked Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate 2020 presidential hopeful former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden, it is echoed of “Watergate.”

Bernstein said, “Well, I think the first thing is to find out exactly what has happened here. And if the reporting of Shane Harris and The Wall Street Journal is accurate and it seems to be it clearly moves toward a grievance abuse of power by the president of the United States.”

He added, “I keep getting asked are there echoes of Watergate in this? And there are in the following ways, Watergate was an attempt by Richard Nixon to undermine the democratic electoral process in the United States our basis of democracy by trying through political espionage and sabotage to nominate through political dirty tricks and misinformation its weakest candidate, George McGovern instead of its strongest candidate, Senator Edmund Muskie who Nixon didn’t want to run against.”

“And something in the same thing seems to be happening here, where Biden who Trump and his people said they fear the most in terms of being an opponent has been an object of these perhaps dirty tricks and abuses of power,” Bernstein continued. “One thing Nixon never did was engage a foreign power to investigate a candidate running for office in the United States. It is a big offense if this is what happened, and it seems to be.”

The only echo is in Bernstein's empty skull.  There is no "whistleblower" story.  It's another leftist fraud and lie.... one of many.... with many more to come, no doubt.

When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and to Liberals, that nail is Watergate.

Spot on brother.  You nailed it.

It's also the last time Bernstein was relevant.

Nixon never did that, but Obastard did.  The fake dossier he pushed to get Trump was the work product of UK.

There is plenty to suggest that Obama knew full well about Russiagate, but Lynch & Obama & both Clintons maintained "plausible deniability."

But Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, perhaps Rosenstein, and others had knowledge of the frame-up.

I like it when I can agree with you, and Trump.  This is Biden's problem.  It really makes me mad.  Because once again the focus is on this rather than the important issues that this country is facing.  It appears it is going to be one thing after another and the government is not doing the job it needs to do.  Like securing the country.  Reducing the debt.  Reforming Welfare.  Stopping the idiocy of rewarding illegal immigration.

All of this is just smokescreen to mask the incompetency of government to actually focus on law.  To focus on Constitutional law and the will of the people who elected the President.

So we will be wrapped up with this new scandal and nothing gets done.
