Comparison:
‘If Republicans had a smoking gun or even a dripping water pistol, they would be presenting it today.’
Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.) didn't waste much time when drawing on an old Watergate idiom to suggest that the initiation of impeachment proceedings might be light on evidence.
Context:
‘If Republicans had a smoking gun or even a dripping water pistol, they would be presenting it today. They’ve got nothing on President Joe Biden. All they can do is return to the thoroughly demolished lie that Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump launched five years ago. The Burisma conspiracy theory, a fairytale so preposterous that one of the main authors, Lev Parnas, has now disowned and repudiated it,’ Raskin said, nodding to a former associate of Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and lawyer to Trump.
