In reply to the discussion: If you are over 60, or studied Watergate at length...Does this feel like Watergate ? [View all]The empressof all
(29,098 posts)It feels like Watergate with the convoluted information coming in in drips. I've been paying attention to this Russia stuff for months so I'm feeling like I'm not getting any new info from what some of us have already suspected. I just want to scream WTF why is it taking so long.... But Watergate was slow steady drip too. I also feel the committee hearings I watched were not blatantly partisan as we saw today.
I also was never fearful for my life during Watergate. I didn't suspect Nixon would launch an attack to deflect attention. I'm not so sure that Trump can contain himself when he realizes he is backed into a corner. Scary times.
On the upside...If he doesn't blow up the world....I have a strong suspicion there will be a concerted effort behind close doors to get him to resign. Kushner's name figuring so prominently in some of these Russian contacts and it being leaked publically today will not sit well with Ivanka and I think the kids will run scared. They have the most to lose in this whole situation. There will be some serious family sit downs.. I think he will be gone by the end of April! (Let's Hope So Anyway)
