        A new Special Prosecutor was promptly appointed who continued the ultimately successful suit to obtain the tapes. But Dems controlled both houses then. What’ll happen when Trump fires Mueller? Furrowed brows followed by complete inaction—unless Dems take at least one house.

        Jeff Flake will be privately concerned according to people familiar with his thinking.

        Michael, have you read JIm Doyle's book about his time as the Watergate Special Prosecution Force's spokesman? (He was a longtime political reporter and one of the stars of Tim Crouse's press book.) His account of the SNM is pure gold.

        If @GOP retains control of all 3 branches of government on November 6th, Saturday Night Massacre will look like a jaywalking offense compared to what Trump admin will do. They've already got the SC, so they'll be left completely unchecked. #StopUSDeterioration #VoteDem2018

        Shortly afterward, as I was driving north on US 101 in Marin County, I saw a car with a bumper sticker that said, “Impeach the Cox-Sacker”.

        That means I was printing "Impeach the Coxshucker" bumper stickers 45 years ago the day after tomorrow.

        History may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme an awful lot.

        Richardson was key. We have no one like him now.

        I remember. It was nothing like the current mess. Congress exercised its checks and balances against a rogue president.

        I remember that weekend clearly. It created a government crisis and near panic among people, exacerbated by the limited communication then available: one public + three network TV channels, radio stations and newspapers. Hoping we never have another one like it.

        The 1972 election was my first voting experience. I hated Richard Nixon but Donald Trump is so much worse. I was 18 years old then, I’m 64 years old now.
