Matthews: Only Difference Between Trump and Nixon Is the Pace of the Purge

‘Trump is doing so over time’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MATTHEWS: "Trump watch January 31st, 2018. If you step back from the actions of President Trump and hissage adjutants you can see what they’re up to. One by one picking off officials charged with insuring that they obey the law. I say step by step because the only an apparent difference between how this president and Richard Nixon conduct this kind of purge is the pacing. Nixon knocked off the attorney Richard Nixon conduct this kind of purge is the pacing. Nixon knocked off the attorney general, the deputy attorney general and the special counsel all in one night. Trump is doing so overtime first the FBI director, then the deputy FBI director on Monday, and now the deputy attorney general is being targeted with the special prosecutor being the ultimate bull’s eye. Nixon performed his Saturday night massacre, trump is performing a slow motion Saturday night massacre. This president loves to first give his marked men a death warrant and shows no need for logical causality between the accused and the crime and just as trump accused Obama of being an illegal alien without evidence he now makes charges against those involved in the current investigation against him. All that’s necessary to sell trump’s proud supporters is a claim itself. James Comey, deputy FBI director Andrew Mccabe and now rod Rosenstein are all being tarred and feathered in the same summary judgment. Trump and his people simply declare their guilt of whatever and proceed to scream conspiracy. It’s the old Nixon technique."
