NYMag : reported that Comey’s Memo Is the Smoking Gun of Donald Trump’s Watergate
And the crime detailed in the reported Comey memo, like the opioid-gun tape, is of the utmost seriousness.

Patrick Gray, the acting director of the FBI, and ask him not to investigate the Watergate break-in. The conversation remained secret until Nixon was forced to release a recording on the conversation on July 24, 1974. Comey's memo — which is "two pages long and highly detailed," the Washington Post reports — is the kind of document that would be admissible as evidence.

On June 23, 1972, President Richard Nixon met with H.R.

James Comey's Notes Are Trump's Smoking Gun
Friction Builds Between Freeh, Clinton, Threatening to Burn Them, and the FBI, reported the L.A. Times. But in Donald Trump's increasingly implausible drama, the gun is opioid. Repeatedly Nixon's defenders found themselves asking, as journalists summarized, "Where's the smoking gun?" You cannot impeach the President without direct evidence of a serious crime. Trump is not the first president to be vexed by Justice Department or FBI investigations.
