Podesta actually taunts Trump in his Tweet comparing Comey's firing to the incident that finally brought down the Nixon administration, though they are not the same. Podesta is bold, or is he scared?. ( pizzagate )

submitted by Laskar

Apparently Podesta is confident that he is untouchable--he is getting very bold in his Tweets.

Podesta taunted Trump with this Tweet, comparing it to Nixon's Watergate scandal:

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/05/09/23/40252A2200000578-4489966-image-m-61_1494368714505.jpg

By comparing the firing of Comey with President Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre", Podesta is alluding to how the Nixon administration was brought down during the Watergate scandal.

Nixon fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox and there were resignations to follow. Of course, the exaggerated term "Saturday Night Massacre" was an invention of political commentators .

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Massacre

Those of an age to recall Nixon and this "massacre" know that this was the final straw in bringing down the Nixon presidency, so Podesta's use of this comparison would indicate his hopes of the firing of Comey having the same effect on the Trump presidency.

Of course firing the FBI head at the urging of the attorney general, and assistant attorney general is nothing the same as firing a special prosecutor. The letters from Trumps advisors are reproduced in this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.html

Podesta's Tweet has gone viral with many chiming in. Here are some examples:

Isn't Sat night also their ritual night? Consider some of these folks might actually be happy as Comey was surely blackmailing many...Podesta and Alefantis need to be the first to go...but a host of others should follow...bye chuckie :-) bye nancy :-)...get ready for something like the nuremburg trials when full extent is know...and how long it has been going on...

jmac1112

He's not bold or scared. He is dead. I'm not being facetious here, I mean quite literally that he was killed long ago, being the loosest thread in the biggest scandal in history. There is no way he is still alive. If you're wondering why he is so confident and is suddenly only capable of criticizing Trump in a routine manner, yet apparently not at all worried for his own skin, it's because someone else is controlling his Twitter.

Narcissism

Podesta is in an upbeat mood, Narcissists swing between highs and lows. At the moment he is on an unassailable high.

Omnicopy

WHO CARES???

pby1000

Would someone please tweet Podesta the drawings of the suspects in the McCann disappearance?

Laskar

Great idea

pby1000

Yes. Yes, it is...

Are_we_sure

Of course, the exaggerated term "Saturday Night Massacre" was an invention of political commentators.

??? Did you think there was some political science term defining exactly what a Saturday Night Massacre consists of? Do 5 people need to be fired?

bopper

From St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Just making SURE you know. But you're pretty smart.

Are_we_sure

What? No it's not.

Why would you think that?

bopper

The coined term Saturday Night Massacre is a play on St. Valentine's Day Massacre from the '30s is all I'm saying.

TrishaUK

OH PODESTAS 'SATURDAY NIGHT' IS COMING!! .....Ddddahhh....

James you know raping children is wrong..why do you do it? Where is Madaline? How does it feel to know your dirty little secrets are all over the internet for all the world to see?

James are you sharting your pants again?

bopper

Seriously? Remind me again on a slow night. It's crazy around here. Thank-you.

witch_doctor1

That tweet will not age well. Skippy is thinking that a good offense is the best defense...but he apparently is clueless about his current power level.

remedy4reality

when you consider the psychopathy of Podesta, it's classic megalomania complex

same with Clinton / these people are literally inhuman in their avarice and contempt for good

Mad_As_Hell

He's also got DNC lawsuit to worry about, would almost feel sorry for him if he weren't a cannibalistic pedo (and that's a big if)

artfullyours

Will never feel sorry for him...

SoldierofLight

Yes, even the Rothschilds have turned against Podesta, or at least publicly.

Laskar

I agree.

SayWhatNOWAY

JP is going to Gitmo!

Intheknow

So, did podesta get comey fired? Like when Killary endorsed bombing of syria after so called gas attack. Or is podesta and killary recieving inside info, then commenting before its out? Shady

Has anyone assured us yet that her security clearances have been revoked?

I think he is cocky. You can't touch me kinda thing. He laughs at us all on a daily basis.

ACHILLES_HEEL

John Podesta tweeted 12 hours ago before Comey sacking >>

John Podesta‏Verified account johnpodesta 12h12 hours ago The American public is getting mildly nauseous listening to Jim Comey

How nauseous do you feel, Johnny boy, now?

bopper

Hey somebody come help me with this guy I'm getting tired.

Yes, and your jig is up Alefantis. And Ryan will have the last word, remember the FBI report?? We are buds, but keep it quiet.

DarkMath

Never bring a Tweet to a 16" Naval Rifle fight.

I hope Podesta has the right answers.

People forget those were real men with real families. Extortion 17 hurt like a mother fucker. Payback's a bitch.

bopper

Hush your mouth. But I'm talkin' bout Shaft. They say that cat Shaft ... never mind. James, seriously, is that you? I got's to know. Do you feel lucky punk? Not tonight?

20Justice4All17

Scared man scared

Laskar

He really should be scared.

Dressage2

I think Podesta has always thought he could openly flaunt his behavior and get away with it because Hillary was suppose to have been POTUS. He would have been protected, now.....not so much. If I was him and several other people, I would be thinking about that noose tightening just a wee bit more.

Laskar

The ones who are at the top are so far above Podesta, but he imagines himself to be greater because he has got away with so much evil already. Look at that interview where he admits to being a cannibal and no one called him on it.

No doubt that's why all this Twitter propaganda aimed at those who know nothing of Watergate except what is online now. It is so completely different.

DayWalker

Look at that interview where he admits to being a cannibal and no one called him on it.

Sauce?

Laskar

During the campaign, in his office, the interviewer asked Podesta about the only painting he had on his wall. The painting shows two men about to eat a third on laid out on a table.

Podesta was asked why there was a picture of cannibalism in his office.

Podesta replied, I think it is better to be the man with fork, than the one on the table."

Now this was before pizzagate broke.

MitchTheBridge

He is both. Most of all, he is scared (I would be). But his ego is immense, so he believes at the same time that he must be untouchable. Podesta, your game is over.

Laskar

Seems like it. We can hope.

MitchTheBridge

Cognitive dissonance. Not only seen with sheeples :)

LA_Trump

Podesta is shook. Building a defense strategy for plausible deniability. Trump is going to fry Podesta, and any PG researcher who doubted his intentions will feel dumb.

remedy4reality

Oh... this is sooooo good. Podesta is toast. You had his boss, Hillary, blaming Comey just last week for costing her the election. This is pure panic and Podesta may be at the end of a rope before the end of the month.

bopper

That's unbelievable that tweet.

Laskar

I thought so too.

Podesta's tweet is becoming a meme to those who did not live through Watergate. Look at what this idiot wrote, who seems to be a fan of Hillary:

"PuigYourFriend‏ @ray_dodgers Replying to @Twittterpated @Krees5 and

Criminal? She's a shitty person but criminal is funny.. Trump is abusing his power. It's Nixon/Cox all over again"

That was on Assange's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JulianAssange/status/862075341644468224

bopper

I was young, but I lived through Watergate, so far this is far from Watergate. These people tweeting this crap weren't even born then (no offense to anyone). That was a very dark time, and it was dark BEFORE the Saturday Night Massacre, and the entire country was beginning to lose faith in Nixon, and there was no silly Russian false spy story either. I did indeed see that Wikileaks tweet!

Intheknow

Watergate involved: pedofilia, prostitution, and big names. Thats what they were after when they broke in..the evidence.

bopper

Yes. And maybe some Kennedy stuff. Nixon had much reason to be paranoid.

Laskar

I was not so young maybe, and I remember it well, including the mood of the country too. Once Kissinger had "widened the war to wind it down", Nixon was destroyed by the massive anti war sentiment and TPTB had to ruin him (to conceal their control) and get rid of him so there would not be a revolution for real--they used the cover up of the break-in at the Watergate Hotel to do it, but the Pentagon Papers were the spark that started the fire, let alone the body counts (and bags) every night on the news. The firing of Cox was the coup de grace.

As you said, nothing of the present situation is like that, but these people have Madison Avenue "Mad Men" working hard to spin it for those who are mesmerized by media.

This "meme" comparing Trump to Nixon seems to bring out the Hillary and Bernie trolls grasping at false straws.

bopper

Thanks for that info, I don't feel so alone. I was a very young hippie at the time. "Every night on the news." Bingo. And special reports and televised live hearings. Those were the days. From '63 to about '75. We had it all. The best of times, the worst of times. I confess, I cried at the Vietnam War Memorial, and looked for my friends' names. People would leave notes and even diamond rings, and letters, and they would be guarded and gathered daily by 'officials' and placed in the indoor museum (Smithsonian).

Laskar

You are welcome.

"Ditto" to your whole comment by the way.

witch_doctor1

"I was a very young hippie at the time."

Tell us about the free love and weed prior to permanent STD's....awesome except for the bell bottoms?

bopper

It was all one big joke, a farce, a dive into depravity, to be perfectly honest. And the summer of love in San Fran stunk with druggies lying about everywhere. The parts they don't tell you about. Etc. Hated bell bottoms. Loved the VW vans. Wait, I think that was all part of the mythology too. Other than that "it was beautiful man." Don't bogart that joint. Manson and Altamont Speedway killed it all.

witch_doctor1

Ever watch Wheeler Dealers? Big Ed (6'8") LOVES the VW vans. I love the low waisted look..but dammit they got it wrong with the bell bottoms. I am an 80's kid and high-waisted jeans are coming back..not happy with that. What's next, Tuf-Skinz with bomb-proof knee reinforcements? And BTW, a poonanny filled dive into depravity is kinda normal and fun post high school...because then you grow up and get a job. For me, it was ecstasy and late 80's club music...a glorious 6 months...

bopper

LOL. I can relate. Never watched that show.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Trump firing Comey, Yates, and Bahara is LITERALLY the same thing as Nixon's Saturday night massacre.

Laskar

Obviously you did not experience Watergate as it happened, or you would never say that.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Obviously you're not looking at this in an unbiased fashion, or else you'd see that does NOTHING to discredit the FACT only two presidents have fired the lead investigator into their own criminal cases, Richard Nixon and Donald Trump.

Laskar

Obviously you know nothing of history.

Comey was head of the FBI. Cox was a special prosecutor.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

What do titles have to do with anything?

FYI, I'm a historian. You're gonna have to do better than that.

ArthurEdens

Give this guy some respect, historians never disagree

bopper

LOL. "For every expert there is an equal and opposite expert."

ArthurEdens

Haha that's great

kestrel9

And trolls never claim to be historians LOL!!

bopper

POTUS can fire the FBI director, Cox was a "special" prosecutor. I'll let you two finish, I'm done. Saturday Night Massacre was a HUGE earth-shaking story. (Sorry, now I'm the one being melodramatic.) That was one spooky time.

bopper

That's melodramatic. People be like laughing at this comparison. Besides, Watergate was a coup, read Russ Baker's book. Nixon was scared to death that night, for his life.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

He fired the people investigating him.

That's LITERALLY what Nixon did too.

Facts aren't melodramatic.

And you should probably read Bakers book, the supposed "coup" attempt came AFTER Watergate broke.

Highcard

Congress is investigating him. Comey's collection of evidence is over. Good riddance... he was incompetent... said not to prosecute Hillary for spamming classified info to huma, Weiner and probably Blumenthal..because she didn't "intend" to break the law. Well, I didn't intend to speed, so I shouldn't get a ticket... right.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

😐😐😐

If Obama has fired Comey two days before he was set to testify about Clintons emails, what you just said would be relevant.

Of course, that didn't happen.

bopper

That was a "constitutional crisis" and you could feel the fear and tension in the streets and in the air. If what Trump did becomes a "constitutional crisis" I will retract.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Volatility hasn't been a hallmark of this years election cycle?

And we have a president with NOW OBVIOUS ties to a foreign power firing folks with evidence of such.

That's about as "constitutional crisis"-y as you're gonna get.

Intheknow

How old are you? Unless you were living and old enough to remember (not read) you dont know what the hell your talking about.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

LMAO.

You really think I'm going to waste my time on someone who thinks books are useless?

Intheknow

Not going to tell are you? Books are great. But you can read anything into sentences and take away anything from it you want. Unless you have lived through it you'll never have a clear understanding of it.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Nixon asked his AG and DAG to fire the SP investigating Watergate.

Both resigned in protest. The third in command followed the order and fired the SP.

That's not a situation that's open to interpretation dipshit.

bopper

You've just illustrated how the situations are completely different.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

No... That's not how that works kiddo...

bopper

No Watergate, kiddo.

https://youtu.be/4UXJGCIhYvk?t=108

shizzle_mcbobblehead

You people really need to get off YouTube and read a few books...

bopper

You're right I should. But it's hard for me to concentrate, too much insomnia. Watching instead of reading is easier right now. I want to read The Devil's Chessboard. Have you read my friend's book Me and Lee? By Judyth Vary Baker? Have you watched The Garrison Tapes? Two Men in Dallas? Evidence of Revision? Great stuff.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

You know Judy Baker? I do recommend The Devils Chessboard.

It's a lot of conjecture but does bring up some interesting questions.

Evidence of Revision is good stuff as well. Really gives you a good perspective on JFKs assassination.

bopper

Yeah I like Evidence of Revision, good rare clips. I'm friends with Judyth on facebook and talk to her occasionally. Sometimes argue. Over James Files and David Lifton whom she's mad at. Thanks for the input on "Chessboard," was hoping it wouldn't be too much conjecture but what do you expect. I know Chauncey Holt's daughter and many others. (The 3 tramps.) She's in Beverly Hills, don't know why.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Me and Lee is insane. Her story really seems genuine. Does tie everything together pretty elegantly too.

So you just a middle man to the dark side of US history lol...

bopper

Seems that way (me) but wife thinks I'm crazy. Judyth is a little eccentric, but I believe she's the real deal.

She's the one that tipped off Roger Stone to Cruz's dad (Nat'l Enquirer), and Stone took it to Trump, and everybody got it all twisted and linked Cruz w/ Oswald as a "bad guy."

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Anybody with the balls to tell a story like hers probably is a little eccentric lol.

That's crazy!! So she had the pic of Poppa Cruz and Oswald together?

bopper

I gotta run but you should watch this (if you're interested only). Pretty neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvjGYNJir-c

Intheknow

Historian?

Intheknow

And at least Trump fired him, unlike killary who would have had him shot in the back of the head while he was taking a walk.

ArthurEdens

There's no proof there's investigation going on. Only msm says there is and their track record is not great

shizzle_mcbobblehead

This doesn't even deserve a response.

bopper

His response needed no response. So why'd you respond?

ArthurEdens

haha

shizzle_mcbobblehead

This is what we're doing now?

ArthurEdens

Shitzmcbob, remember when William Sessions was fired as FBI director right when he was about to launch an investigation on Clinton?

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Sessions was already in Clintons pocket.

How do you think Clinton knew about the money he "stole"?

Aside from that... What's your point?

ArthurEdens

Short of murdering him, Sessions was framed to get him out. Please.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

They didn't murder him BECAUSE he took the money.

You don't kill people who've put themselves in compromising positions.

ArthurEdens

You're saying he accepted a bribe? How could he refuse? Say no and get murdered.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Or just say no and step down...

ArthurEdens

...if he actually accepted any money

shizzle_mcbobblehead

First reports were independent of any government office.

If I remember correctly the story was actually broken by a journalist who was basically given carte blanche to FBI records by Sessions himself.

ArthurEdens

...and journalists never lie

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Dude...

You have two very real conspiracies staring at you, each originating on either side of the political spectrum.

I'm genuinely asking you people to consider the gravity of this situation, and stop waiting for a fucking hero to come along and make everything better.

ArthurEdens

Hey man, I'm ready to fight, there's just not enough people yet

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Then get some more.

Quit alienating folks by making this about politics. It's a very real situation with VERY real consequences.

ArthurEdens

Man, i was only chiming into the dogfight about politics you had going on, you got to take your own advice

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Can't call it a political dogfight because I'm not promoting any candidate and/or official.

I think they're all shit.

I'm just trying to add some common sense perspective to the situation.

Edit: You are right though. My approach is a little hard headed.

ArthurEdens

Ugh dude you get wrapped up in your own bubble too much and quibble about semantics

shizzle_mcbobblehead

I'll give you the first one but I make a effort to avoid semantic arguments...

Where'd i make one of those?

ArthurEdens

doesn't matter, have a good one

bopper

Ties to a foreign power? They keep saying that but offer no proof, you know that. "Obvious ties?" Are you shillin'?

shizzle_mcbobblehead

YOU DON'T FIRE THE GUY INVESTIGATING YOU FOR SOMETHING YOU PRAISED HIM FOR IF YOU'RE INNOCENT!

Intheknow

Hillary Clinton

shizzle_mcbobblehead

So if Clinton does it it's treason.

If Trump does it it's "a long time coming".

Know what cognitive dissonance is?

Intheknow

Yawn

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Typical dissonant response...

Intheknow

You going to cry now? Hillarys house of cards is crumbling down and alot of somebodies are going to be facing a whole lot of pissed off people who are going to demand they answer for their crimes.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

.......

😅😅😅

It's just a coincidence the only folks fired are the ones who showed the white house evidence of Russian collusion within the Trump administration....

Hope you find a use for that extra chromosome there bud.

Intheknow

👍👌

bopper

I'm not concerned about it. Comey was a weasel and that was on display for all to see. I hope this turns into a circus, we need one, besides, it's been boring for far too long. Thanks for the convo. Howdy Doody time.

bopper

The coup was probably in the works a while. A lot of things had gone down before the massacre, the country was reeling, it wasn't the same, it was a much darker time. This is the official MSM line you're espousing. Do you remember Watergate, the massacre, and the hearings?

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Yeah, I know the situation pretty well.

That does nothing to discredit the fact THE GUY JUST FIRED THE LEAD INVESTIGATOR INTO HIMSELF!

That's EXACTLY what Nixon did.

Intheknow

Jeez Here I thought he was investigating Killary emails. What I miss? I sure would like to know what bills wife has to say about this.

bopper

The lead investigator of a nonsensical phony Russian spy story that even the dems have denounced. Until tonight. Not Watergate. Nixon had something to hide (though we don't know how much he knew), Trump has no Russian dirt on him. Not Watergate. That was a "constitutional crisis." as I said, if this reaches Watergate status I'll retract and apologize. But in a way let's hope it does.

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Who denounced it?

Every day we get more info on obvious ties and you people still refuse to acknowledge it.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so maddening...

bopper

Feinstein denounced it. (Russian hacking.) I wouldn't let it "madden" you. What info are we getting every day? I must be missing it.

Intheknow

ClintonNewsNetwork

shizzle_mcbobblehead

Imagine Obama fires Comey two days before he's set to testify about Clinton Emails...

I'd have shit myself then too...

Feinstein didn't denounce anything.
