Nixon was forced to resign because of deleting just under 19 minutes of audio tape. Meanwhile Droopy Don is engaging in a cover up that dwarfs that, and the GOP (and much of the media) is letting him get away with it.
Fox News was created on the premise of prevenr9ng what happened to Nixon from happening again.
Glad I'm not the only one who gets those random num9 from phone typing.😉
Yup. Depending on what you believe, there were still going to be 15 Senators that were going to vote for acquittal. And that's at the very end of things. I'm not sure, but I bet those were all Republicans.
Republicans were seething over Nixon's resignation for decades after. Those that were around back then probably still are.
The South still seethes over their civil war loss, so I totally believe they're still seething over this.
Kinda believe

Fox news was created to prevent another Watergate by being a right wing mouthpiece capable of muddying waters, distracting through misdirection, outright lying, and pushing right wing talking points.
Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon though, so that means that Watergate is okay to replicate, right?
And biden drug his feet on prosecuting trump after jan 6th. It's bullshit.
Merrick Garland not Biden.
Biden can direct them. Just like the turnip is doing.
AFAIK, the president directing the attorney general lacks precedent. Evidence to the contrary invited.
Not just letting him- HELPING him.
Nixon was a flower girl next to these crooks!
There’s no letting, they are actively helping and supporting him in the cover up.
When half our politicians are one party or the other, there is no room to distance themselves from scandal. This will keep happening until we fix our system.
Lots of “surface” issues, never anything to fix the underlying framework.
