Russian journalist Sergei Parkhomenko compared the scandal surrounding the dismissal of US Army chief James Komi from the Watergate case by US President Donald Tramp, which ended with the only lifetime resignation of the head of state, Richard Nixon, in 1974.

The corresponding entry appeared on his Facebook page.

"President Trump just suddenly dismissed the FBI director James Komi. The same Komi, who is today a key figure in a huge investigation, dedicated to the contacts of the tramp staff with the Russian special services during the election campaign. The last time Komi participated in the next round of hearings about this in the Senate Security Committee less than a week ago, "he wrote.

Parkhomenko added that the dismissal of the Komi is furnished with "grotesque and farce details".

"A letter about the resignation of Komi was personally brought by the former head of Trump's guard (before the presidency). And the letter showed a striking phrase: "Although I am extremely grateful to you that you informed me three times on various occasions that I myself am not under investigation, nevertheless I agree with the decision of the Ministry of Justice that you are not able Effectively manage the Bureau ", - noted the journalist.

He stressed that Trump's phrase "although I myself am not under investigation" recalls Watergate and parallels with Nixon.

"Come on, dear tramp-men, come here: tell me why people who are trying to understand this insane decision (and I with them) should not compare this dismissal with the famous" Saturday slaughter "in October 1973. Then Nixon demanded that the special prosecutor Coke be fired at the height of the Watergate investigation - the prosecutor who investigated him, Nixon, a crime - and then cold-bloodedly accepted the protest resignations of the Prosecutor General and his deputy.

And this was a big, confident, decisive step towards impeachment, "the journalist believes..

"It seems that the countdown of the future chronicle of Impeachment Trump will start from today," concluded Parkhomenko.

As reported by the "Observer", Donald Trump said that the dismissal of James Komi from the post of director of the FBI is due to his inability to "effectively manage".
