We are going to see more and more of this kind of press intimidation in the coming months. Let’s hope it stops at this sort of nonsense and Trump doesn’t decide to go full Putin.

charged him with willful disruption of governmental processes
Seriously? Willful disruption of a guy walking in a hallway?

I laugh, but am very sad at how alternative-reality that perspective is -touting “Nixonian”-ism as a virtue.

I think a lot about Republican attitudes for the last three decades or so can be explained by rage about Watergate, the idea that the deserving parties were unjustly done in by idealists who believed in democracy (or at least did a good job feigning belief)… Just look at W’s administration, all those people who were young Nixonian whippersnappers and got back into power. The immediate post-Nixon GOP was more diverse and had a long history before impeachment or working to elect the crook.
By the way, guess who worked on the Watergate committee as a young woman.

It takes some doing to be photographed next to Paul LePage and Kellyanne Conway and still be the nastiest, authoritarian douche in the frame!

The fear, the paranoia, the Enemies List, becoming more of a recluse, holing up in the Oval with only a close confidant or two - in PeePee’s case, his only BFF appears to be his bodyguard, Keith Schiller and his douchebag whisperer, Jarvanka.
Like PeePee, Nixon’s criminal activities were outsourced to people with ties to the IC (McCord, Sturgis, Barker) as well as foreign-born men living in the US (Martinez, Gonzales). Big difference is that PeePee’s has been a long grift in which he enriched himself while getting deeper and deeper in with criminal enterprises/money laundering while Nixon seems to have been roped in by his paranoia and the need to cover-up the wrongdoing.
The Orange Menace is far dirtier, far more criminal, far more delusional, and far more dangerous than Nixon was on his worst day.

At least Nixon had booze to comfort him in the wee hours. I shudder to imagine what Trump does for kicks.

“Heyman, at a press conference Tuesday, defended his actions and said that “they decided I was just too persistent in asking this question and trying to do my job and so they arrested me,” according to the AP.”
Seems to be the course of action from the administration .

Precisely. What governmental process was disrupted?

I’m sure that somewhere in Bannon’s office there is a replication of the sign from Chuck Colson’s office: “When you’ve got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.” Might even be the same sign. Anyway, Colson later got religion so it’s all water under the bridge.
