4. i remember watergate

a third rate burglary attempt or so dismissed at the time.. in fact Nixon defeated Mc Govern handily in 72 despite the capture of the burglars..

that incident started a slow drip drip drip.. that didn't even start to gain momentum till the "saturday night massacre" when Nixon fired Archibald Cox the special prosecutor appointed to the case.. never the less eventually Nixon ended up resigning..

i guess my point is that we are not even past the beginning of the beginning.. what will ultimately happen to Rupert and all those folks.. dare we hope for something under RICO?
