Is Mueller's Worthy?

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.

Volkswagen is one of the largest automakers in the world and it has a global reputation as a high-quality German auto brand. Social responsibility is included in VW’s corporate culture and it seems that Volkswagen made some advances in Corporate Social Responsibility because the corporation was ranked 11th 2015 in the Global CSR Rep Track 100, which listed companies by reputation (Reputation Institute, 2015).However, the company has been threatened by an emission scandal which broke in September 2015, when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) disclosed that Volkswagen had installed defeat devices on diesel cars which were sold in the US. These devices equipped on VW cars cheated regulators in such a way that it could detect

A grand jury witness serving in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is speaking out against what appears to be a never-ending witch hunt, according to The Daily Caller.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman." was one of Bill Clinton’s famous political one-liners. In the past decade, many people have made it their mission to prosecute Democratic President William Jefferson “Bill” Clinton for committing real estate fraud known as the Whitewater scandal and his involvement in numerous illicit sex scandals like the Paula Jones lawsuit and the Monica Lewinsky lawsuit to name a few. The significance of the Whitewater trials and the impeachment of the president is that it served as an example for future presidents and assured the people that the president is subjected to the law, not above it. If he

The question “did OJ Simpson really committee this crime?” has a lot of controversy. Before he was arrested, he was involved in a car chase with his friend Al Cowlings. He was supposed to turn himself in but instead he kidnapped his friend and tried to flee by threatening to kill himself while his friend drove his truck. While this was happening Simpson’s lawyer read a letter to the pubic that was written by Simpson stating, "First everyone understands I had nothing to do with Nicole 's murder. Don 't feel sorry for me. I 've had a great life ” (Bosco 17). This almost sounded like a suicide note. The public got involved with the car chase and they got some of Simpsons friends to talk him into turning himself in. This car chase and

A witch hunt is an investigation carried out ostensibly to uncover disloyalty, subversive political activity, etc., usually conducted with much publicity and often relying upon inconclusive evidence and capitalizing on public fear of unpopular opinions. It causes mass hysteria and makes the public blindly follow the accuser with little to no evidence.

Following Nixon’s resignation in the year 1974, Gerald Ford replaced Richard Nixon as the 38th president of the United States, an event that would change the future of America. Due to the Watergate scandal, an incident where President Nixon was accused of deleting White House tapes that supposedly proved he coordinated an illegal break-in to the Watergate Hotel, Nixon felt he was no longer fit to serve as president. Rather than face impeachment, Nixon opted to resign, leaving his vice president in charge. In lieu of facing charges for obstruction of justice, Ford granted Nixon a pardon, which eliminated any possibility of a trial. Consequently, President Ford’s pardon caused much controversy as to whether or not this proved that the president was above the law. For this reason, many argue that Nixon should be put on trial for his crimes, while others believe the humiliation in resignation was punishment enough. While both statements have valid arguments, one has more reason to believe that Nixon deserved to be put on trial due to the equality of all lawbreakers and the impact the scandal on the American people.

After Mueller’s indictment of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates on Monday, many Americans have begun to wonder what Mueller’s next move will be. A look into what Mueller’s probe into possible collusion between the Russians and Donald Trump is currently doing also may have came into focus on Monday. Trump’s former foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos admitted to making false statements to FBI agents about making attempts to set up meetings between Trump campaign and Russian officials. Papadopoulos is now giving Mueller information about other people that may have been involved in collusion or that violated federal law. The fact that Manafort is being indicted at the moment means that he likely did not talk like Papadopoulos. Trump still won’t necessarily be indicted, but these recent indictments mean that this is only the start for Mueller, not the end as Trump hoped.

The FBI began in 1908, as a small offshoot of the Justice Department. Due to increased complexities that The Justice Department could no longer handle, President Roosevelt, through much controversy, commissioned the bureau to aid in the work of The Justice Department. The creation of the bureau did not come about easily, but with the support of Attorney General Charles Bonaparte, Roosevelt bypassed Congress to establish the force, which later became known officially as the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Comey has a lot of enemies in Washington, DC and the President and Attorney General Jeff Sessions may well have viewed his recent error-filled testimony -- in which he misstated by a huge order of magnitude the number of Hillary Clinton emails Huma Abedin had forwarded to her husband, Anthony Wiener -- as the cover they were looking for to fire him at minimal political cost.

It is never proven if Flynn has actually committed any crime, but Aloysius is determined to prove that she is right. She bases a lot of her accusation on her experience in the past with a similar situation.

Watergate is one of the most infamous moments in American history. The tapes, the congressional hearings, the lies: no one can forget the unprecedented deceit by a presidential administration. In fact, it is so well-known that the term is often used some forty years later to convey the severity of a modern event. One also often sees the suffix -gate tacked onto a plethora of other nouns by sensationalist media outlets. However, few if any of these comparisons are accurate and justifiable, as contemporary political happenings are far less influential than the Watergate scandal in the scope of American history.

Senator of New Jersey, Robert Menendez has been accused of abuse of power. Still, he was proved innocent. His protection was based on the argument that his long-term relations with Salomon Melgen could be called a friendship but not a bribe-taking and power abusing (Lerner). He has been noticed for multiple times influencing various issues for the sake of his so-called friend: at least three cases of prolonging visas for Melgen’s girlfriends, financial issues concerning excessive fund spending, and customs tax payment for the transfer of equipment (Jaffe). At the same time, politician received an impressive sum of donations – in money, material objects and services like flying on a personal plane or being paid for the vacation. Still the before mentioned list of “friendly acts” does not seem like an unprejudiced behavior of a politic person, as deliberate influencing various areas of governance for the

The people at the West Virginia had tested vehicles as well as the EPA (Patel). Volkswagen chose to include rout programming device to cheat the system to pass the testing laws. Volkswagen as a corporation was basically trying to cut the cost of engines to be built by limiting the NOx emission system that controls how much dirty chemicals that goes into the air (Patel).By the company putting this device in their cars they were trying to cut down the cost that they would have to spend, at the same time Volkswagen cars had better performance. The ethical question would be is it really worth it to CHOSE to overlook the laws to save money on cash (Patel). "We expected better from Volkswagen," said Cynthia Giles, the E.P.A's. colleague manager for the Office of Enforcement and Compliance. She called the automaker's activities "a danger to general health of our

It is not hard to see that the scandal would cause a horrid blow to VW’s image. Until the incident, VW had, like many other German companies, the reputation of “German engineering” (Robertson, 2013). However, instead of using that innovation to develop diesel-fueled cars compliant with U.S. standards, it decided to try to scam its way in the market. Not only did the company admit to having 11 million cars with software intended to cheat tests (Gates, Ewing, Russell & Watkins, 2017), it also plead guilty to “destroying evidence in an elaborate cover-up” (VW Admits Emissions Cheating and Cover-up, 2017); building further distrust among its consumers.
