Former Clinton Campaign Manager Robby Mook on Comey Firing: ‘Looking Like Watergate’ (Mediaite)

On Friday, Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 presidential campaign manager, Robby Mook, likened the ongoing controversy over President Donald Trump‘s firing of FBI Director James Comey to the scandal that brought down former President Richard Nixon.

“I think the real issue is the longer this goes on, the more and more this is looking like Watergate,” Mook said on MSNBC Live. “I don’t say that lightly.”

He continued, “You have a president who probably did something wrong. You had an investigation that was closing in on him and his associates. And everything we’re hearing — all the reporting — is pointing to the fact that Director Comey’s investigation was getting too close; and the President wanted to disrupt that.”
