Comey: The Trump Scandal

Watergate Scandal has been considered as one of the darkest chapters in American history. The event not only refers to unethical use of power by the public representatives but also levied great deal of attention on the mechanism of surveillance over the activities of public servants. Watergate scandal provides ethical directions not only to public servants but also provides ethical guidelines to the lawyers and media representatives as well. This incident reveals how ethical lines were crossed time and again by the politicians, legal attorneys and media for their own purposes. Ignoring the righteousness of the outcomes, events like these cause severe damage to the public's trust vested in these authorities which takes a long time to restore.

Specifically, the FBI charged Cooper, who has since been suspended by Florida Governor Rick Scott (R), with felony “campaign finance violations, official misconduct, and money laundering“ for allegedly accepting and laundering bribe money that she received to help unlawfully fund her re-election campaign.

What makes all of America concerned about President Trump. The relationship between President Trump and many citizens is shaky. This makes Leonhardt question why President Trump helps with his campaign when those people had a limited role in his success. Leonhardt questioned, "Do you remember Paul Manafort, the chairman of Trump's Champaign, who ran the crucial delegate-counting operation?” Leonhardt did not ask this question on accident. Leonhardt purposefully asked the question to answer it. The question interacts with his audience, which in effect guides one reading his editorial in the direction he wants one to think about President Trump. Leonhardt wanted to emphasize how Trump is a hypocrite. There is no way that Trump won his election by himself without much help, establishing an irritated angry tone. Leonhardt also adds a rhetorical questions by Adam Schiff in which Schiff asks, "Is it possible that all of these events and reports are completely unrelated, and nothing more than an entirely unhappy coincidence?" The rhetorical question means is that can the suspicious ties and encounters between Trump and Putin seriously be a fluke? Maybe; but nonetheless, Leonhardt incorporates this rhetorical question into his editorial even though he did not say it because it is not a coincidence. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and smells like a duck, then that mysterious animal is a duck. The rhetorical question has an implied answer of maybe; however, the purpose of that rhetorical question is to further guide one reading his editorial in the direction Leonhardt wants his audience to think. Leonhardt does not trust President Trump and he wants everyone to understand why. President Trump is playing the hide and seek game, but it is not the same game children play. It is the game every lying president has

The Jerry Sandusky investigation would continue after subpoenas would be served into his records at Penn State University. Just like anything else, past reports begin to become known even though it took the 1998 reports before these older reports were known. These incidents were reported 1994 – 1997. “According to the grand jury report, Sandusky allegedly engages in inappropriate conduct with three different boys he met separately through the Second Mile program. One boy was 7 or 8, another was 10 and the third was 12 or 13 at the time. According to the grand jury report, the now-grown men said Sandusky engaged in inappropriate conduct ranging from touching to outright sexual encounters, including several incidents during the night before Penn

Richard M. Nixon was a former vice president who barely won the election in 1968 against Hubert Humphrey for the Republican party. Once in his presidency, President Nixon pleased and displeased citizens in the United States. He was not necessarily the most liked president, but he was not the most disliked either. By 1972, it was time for the

Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward became famously known as the reporters that broke the Watergate Scandal and changed American politics forever. When five people were arrested in 1972 for breaking into the office of the Democratic National Committee, Bernstein and Woodward investigated. They compiled facts and relied on sources. These findings eventually lead to the resignation of President Richard Nixon when the scandal was discovered to be an operation to give Nixon an advantage in the presidential campaign. Although regulations have changed since the 1970’s, Bernstein and Woodward followed the SPJ Code of Ethics. The code declares four principles; seek the truth and report it, minimize harm, act independently and be accountable and transparent.

In the Nunes' four-page memo, it was revealed that the FBI and DOJ used Steel's dossier not only spy on Trump's campaign, but to lay the foundation for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.

They have filed law suits against him and demanded he be impeached for allegations of collusion!

I don't find Mueller's statement credible. According to Mueller, there was a technology problem but there was no fault in technology. They had intentionally inserted the device to pass the test. Mueller even agreed the next day that he had mishandled the situation and did admit the violation. Mueller stated that they misinterpreted the American law and that the software solutions weren't compatible with the American law. These statements are clearly incorrect because not that the software installed was not compatible with the law but it was breaking the law. If they had misinterpreted the law, the emission test results would have failed and they would have figured out that they exceeded the US emission limits. Instead, software was installed

Congress held an emergency hearing to grill Comey on his obviously misguided conclusion and his clarifications provided even more proof that Clinton perjured herself repeatedly to cover up her illegal activities. Now Congress is pursuing a perjury inquiry and has promised

The background of the investigation is that Russia is being accused of hacking election systems and the emails accounts of Hillary Clinton's staff members. If Russia has the capability to hack America’s computers and rig votes, then this is a political issue, as the integrity of the American voting system has been jeopardize and President elect Trump may have not be the choice of the people. President elect has expressed deep admiration for Vladimir Putin, therefore he as alternate view of President Obama’s order to investigate. He has compared the order to Past President Clinton February 18, l998, statement in which he said Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. President elect disagrees with the order has chosen to compare it to a very bad time in our countries history. An article about President elect response was issued on December 9, 2016, it was written by Josh Gerstein, Jennifer Scholtes, Eric Geller and Martin Matishak, it is Trump breaks with Obama, intel agencies on election hacking. Information about Iraqi and the weapons of mass destruction can be found in CNN report of February 18, 2016 by James

James Comey had no real pleasant choice or option to make for the reason being that both of his options would leave him in the bad. Technically, there was no “right” choice but in my opinion I do not believe he made the right decision. It is so close to election day for this to be happening that it seriously has the potential to cost Hillary Clinton the election. This whole scandal can lower her numbers and chances of winning the election. Because of this perhaps some undeclared voters may commit to Donald Trump, causing his voter percentage to increase. Many people believe that Hillary Clinton is not fit to be president and is untrustworthy because of these emails. The swing states will be significant towards outcome of this election. Some

spoke openly about the affair, claims he did not do justice, and explains why he confessed in court to the bribery charges.

It is also being said by a source close to Harward that he rejected the job because The White House seems chaotic at the moment.

The Sandusky scandal caused much turmoil outside the boundaries of the university, but left a lot of challenges in its wake on campus as well. Management, marketing, human resources and the admissions office would all take a hit on the scandal. Management would be left to pick up the pieces after the scandal broke. They were not just faced with replacing the staff members that were terminated or forced to resign, but they had a larger problem in determining how this could be swept under the rug for so long. The initial report had been investigated by the university police and addressed before passing onto Management (Crandall, Parnell & Spillan, 2013). However, I do believe they should have follow-up on the investigation and made sure that
