Watergate took nearly two years to unravel. Nixon even won re-election during the scandal, in its early days.
Nixon didn't burglarize anything.
But he was neck deep in the cover-up, and was hands on.
That was his demise.
A brilliant political tactician, who was mean, petty, small-minded, vindictive, and micro-managed himself into infamy.
Again, I truly hope this won't be the same case here, but the more time goes by, the more absolutely unhinged Teump seems, so the sooner he is given his pink slip, the better.

@subpat: i wasn't even born then, but we have a family friend who was in a movie about Nixon, so I have read several books on him. I even wrote a paper on him.
Fascinating story.
I was amazed how in the middle of the night, one night, he had his limousine take him out to speak to kids protesting the Vietnam War. He thought talking to them, he could convince em of the rightness of his views.
I can't imagine what they thought when the President of the USA got out of the car at 3 or 4 am.
Another man, totally disconnected.

@lacsar: speaking of witch hunts our president this weekend accused the former president with wire tapping his lines at Trump Tower. It's beside the point a President can't authorize or ask for a wiretap. That's Justice Department area of lawful duties. he has offered no proof and the FBI and DNI are denying forcefully that no such actions were taken.
