I remember the Watergate Investigations. I remember how President Nixon was caught directing his aides, chief-of-staff, attorneys, and several others to commit crimes including obstruction of justice. The difference this time is the Vice-President is involved in some of the original bribery charge.
Unlike Watergate, many of Trump’s White House Staff, including the inner circle, have left because of what is going on in the Oval Office. Those who disagreed were fired. Complete and absolute loyalty is the President’s number one criteria.
The President has based his style on how his dictator friends around the world run their countries. Since he can’t really kill people he belittles and smears them into submission.
Will the Senators follow their oath to the country or to a Hitler-like oath to Trump by allowing him to stay in office? That would mean he can be even more dictatorial. Imagine future presidents thinking this behavior is proper.
Watergate’s laws kept the President’s power within the bounds of equal branches as the constitution wanted. President Trump has done everything he can to ignore those laws and gain financially from being President now and in the future.
