'If Nixon taught us anything, it is this: the harder the attempts to conceal the truth, the harder the fall,' wrote Sen. Patrick Leahy.
Senator Patrick Leahy entered politics at the height of the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. The senior senator from Vermont is now warning current President Donald Trump to learn from the mistakes of that earlier administration and not attempt to hide the recently filed special counsel report.
A key factor in Nixon's ultimate undoing was his refusal to comply with the investigation of Special Counsel Archibald Cox, who had issued subpoenas for recordings made by the president. It is not yet know when or if the Mueller report will be made available to the public. Attorney General William Barr is expected to provide members of Congress with his summary of the report as soon as this weekend, though Barr's office has not indicated how in-depth that summary might be, or what topics it might cover.
"[T]he American people have the right to see the investigation in full and decide for themselves whether this has been a legitimate investigation—or an inquisition carried out by bureaucrats who didn’t like the choice Americans made in 2016," wrote Gingrich.
