3. I would disagree...In 1974, this story was the biggest story of the year.

Especially that all conversations were recorded. I was there, Watergate was the biggest story of that year...and Nixon resigned...I have a newspaper in my basement that is headlined...Nixon says..."I will not resign.."

Nixon resigned a sometime later, after that quote....( I would have to go and look)....Given the context and the time & events, this is the same...Watergate took over the news, and this one aspect..."Trump did nothing" is the same..

Given the time, place, and the context...This is "THE STORY".

Watergate had been going on for over a year...

Trump's impeachment happened months ago.., and this is still going on....

We thought that it was over then, but this is in some ways worse.....It involves life and death of our solders...and Donald Dump did ....absolutely ..........NOTHING..!!!!..He says he didn't know, but we all knew he was told..That is his job as ...President of the U.S....He was told..
