they do bring us closer because, you know, nixon, among other things, was very intelligent, very well prepared, very sensible, he did some very sane things. trump is completely insane. you know, he is insensible, he's completely ill prepared. among other things, that business with nixon coming up with the idea of telling the fbi to stop investigating watergate because it might have been a cia operation required a brilliant understanding of the intelligence organizations and what they did and how they worked together. >> right. >> trump is just flailing around madly, and another thing is, you know, trump clearly -- at least his lawyers are really good money launders, at least allegedly. this whole bay rock and soho trump thing and the russian stuff. we may never get to this stuff. once they started looking into how richard nixon paid off the burglars into shutting up at their trial, the things started unraveling within seconds.
