        Big difference, Nixon eventually resigned. I don't believe Trump would ever resign. He'd have to be removed from office subsequent to impeachment, or via 25th Amendment rule.

        You're not wrong there my friend. It's also back when the Republican party had some integrity.

        If the President of the United States can be above the law, then what’s the point in having a democracy?

        I’m not sure. I think it’s more that he’ll bumble his way to a dictatorship because of his narcissism, low morality and ignorance of democratic principles. Doing it intentionally would require a strategic intellect I’m not comfortable assigning him.

        Big difference...Nixon didn’t have a corrupt GOP controlled House & Senate to protect him.

        Well, this is a timely reminder of presidential arrogance and self-declared immunity from prosecution. An echo of history in today's news.
