1. That's not my take. It's history's, as the link I provided shows.

I doubt Dean would disagree. His testimony was in the early days of the hearings, June, 1973. Nixon held on until August, 1974 when Dean's testimony was corroborated by the release of the tapes. Yes, his testimony tipped prosecutors to question witnesses along this line, so he contributed, but had the SC not forced Nixon to release the tapes, who knows what would have happened?

2. It was Eva who noted the hearings. I was responding to that. Not to Trump being indicted.

Re the Rs then and the Rs now - there is so much more support for Trump among the R voters than there was for Nixon. His approval rating was below 30% before he resigned. That is what the R politicians respond to. Put the blame on the Trump supporters, not the R politicians.

What politicians want, #1, whether GOP or Dem, is to be reelected. Yes or no?
