As Donald Trump’s legal challenges multiply, so do comparisons of him to Richard Nixon, the only president ever removed from office.


 “How Trump’s Scandals Mimic Watergate,” “Trump Is Going Full Nixon on Mueller” and “Who’s Worse, Trump or Nixon?”
Frequently on MSNBC  you’ll hear veterans of the Watergate scandal explaining the parallels the special prosecutor, the witnesses who may “flip,” the possible subpoena of the president.

At the same time, however, prominent liberals, including Democratic Representative and others, are trying to tamp down talk of impeachment.

Democrats had large majorities in both the House and the Senate in July 1974, when the House Judiciary Committee voted in favor of three articles of impeachment.  Nixon said he was quitting because he no longer had a “strong enough political base in the Congress.”  Watergate was a political story, and a legal one as well..
