The Watergate scandal pales in comparison to events in Washington surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump and alleged links between his campaign and Russia, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said on Wednesday.
Clapper questioned Trump's continued pro-Russian stance, saying his sharing of intelligence with Russia "reflect either ignorance or disrespect, and either is very problematic".
"I think if you compare the two that Watergate pales, really, in my view, compared to what we're confronting now," Clapper told reporters in Canberra, Australia's capital.
You know when a regular person says this is worse than Watergate you can dismiss that fairly easily.
When a reporter suggests that this is worse than Watergate you might think they are simply trying to be provocative in order to get more interest in an article.
But when the former DNI says that this is worse than Watergate, well....that is something else entirely.
