Carl Bernstein Says Trump’s Call to Raffensperger Is ‘The Ultimate Smoking Gun’ from a ‘Criminal President’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BERNSTEIN: “It’s not deja Vu, this was something far worse than Watergate. We have both a criminal president of the United States and a subversive president of the United States at the same time one person subverting the very basis of our democracy, and willing to act criminally in that subversion. But more important, what we hear on this tape — this is the ultimate smoking gun tape. It is the tape with the evidence of what this president is willing to do toll undermine the electoral system and illegally, improperly and immorally try to instigate a coup to remain president of the United States. In any other presidency, this tape would be evidence enough to result in the impeachment of the president of the United States, his conviction in the Senate of the United States, and really an immediate call by the members of Congress, including of his own party, that he resign immediately. That’s really what we ought to be hearing. Mr. President, resign, leave the White House, this is unconscionable, it is wrong, and we of your party will not permit it. We won’t hear it. We might from a few Republicans, but that’s what’s really called from here. The heroes of the watergate were Republicans who would not tolerate Richard Nixon’s conduct.”
