Seconded. Trump-Russia is its own thing. But compared to past scandals, Iran-Contra's a better fit than Watergate. Trump has years of experience with shady dealings. No matter what the campaign did, he's likely insulated from it. And, ultimately, it's up to Congress.https://twitter.com/BrendanNyhan/status/945858970119421952 …

Trump-Russia hasn't peaked yet. The country will be tested. But, based on what we know now, it looks like neither those claiming blatant collusion nor those claiming unsubstantiated witch hunt will be proven correct. And that's more like Iran-Contra than Watergate. (END)

presidents can be indicted for pre-office acts. Precedent may not be crystal clear, but Agnew was indicted for tax evasion. Difference is Constitution allows the President to pardon himself for federal crimes committed before being sworn in. Up to Congress to impeach for that.
