Watergate similarities

Just finished watching a multi-episode documentary on the History channel about Watergate. Every legal issue, indictments, obstructions, “running out the clock” are the same today. Only differences were republicans began to turn on Nixon rather than defend him. They were asking him to resign. Those who supported him went to prison while Nixon walked away and was later pardoned. The idiots today will be in jail while Trump goes free. He will never reward them for their loyalty. Just cut Trump loose and put the country back together without him. Only way this country will start to heal.
