Nej, i Watergate så var det presidenten som avlyssnade. Lite mer likt Obamas stabs spioneri på Trumpkampanjen.
Åtalet mot Nixon rörde tre punkter:
obstruction of justice ([Nixon] ”engaged personally and through his close subordinates and agents, in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation of such illegal entry; to cover up, conceal and protect those responsible; and to conceal the existence and scope of other unlawful covert activities.”),
abuse of power [Nixon] ”has repeatedly engaged in conduct violating the constitutional rights of citizens, impairing the due and proper administration of justice and the conduct of lawful inquiries, or contravening the laws governing agencies of the executive branch and the purposes of these agencies.”) och
contempt of Congress ([Nixon] ”has failed without lawful cause or excuse to produce papers and things as directed by duly authorized subpoenas issued by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on April 11, 1974, May 15, 1974, May 30, 1974, and June 24, 1974, and willfully disobeyed such subpoenas.”)
Alla dessa punkter kan bli aktuella mot Trump.
