Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame, has a view that I deeply disagree with regarding whether the Hillary Clinton email scandal should be equated with Watergate.

Bernstein says Watergate was certainly worse than the email scandal.

Bill Kristol is wrong; Donald Trump is not a fluke

With all due respect to Mr. Bernstein, what we’re talking about is the criminalization of our government. The problem with Hillary’s server is that it is symptomatic of problems within the Democratic Party. Hillary is the canary in the coalmine; she is the indicator of what is going on behind the scenes.

In Watergate, the nation was stunned and it affected our country for decades. If you look at the Democratic scandals just from the past eight years, you see that they have stunned nearly no one. The party is so corrupt that we can’t even see the corruption anymore.

And now, publications like Time Magazine runs a piece that says that the Hillary email scandal is an attack on women!

Look at what’s being going on within the Department of Justice, the IRS and other acronyms. No one has been punished while Hillary Clinton is the face of a corrupt party.

The reason I disagree with Carl Bernstein is because he is looking at only one aspect of the situation. The Democratic Party commits Watergate level crimes with immunity.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
