33. This is MUCH WORSE. The corruption of this administration is at levels many many times that of Watergate

in terms of scope and magnitude. In addition, during Watergate very few people who were not part of the Nixon administration were hurt.

With the DJT criminal administration, an estimated 500,000 to a million people have DIED already as a result of just one illegal action: the withdrawal of funds for USAID.

That's just one issue, and he's just getting started.

In short, comparing this administration's activities to Watergate is like comparing a firecracker to a hydrogen bomb.
