Simple question: Is this crisis worse than Watergate?

[TygrBright]

75. Don't know yet. We didn't know how "worse" Watergate was at first, either.

KIM Watergate played out over MONTHS... check some of the timelines available online, between the reporting of the burglary and the final resignation.

At the beginning, no one suspected how much "there" actually WAS there.

Media was more respectful back then, although definitely hard-nosed journalists were attempting to do their job. But without social media and the 24/7 news cycle, the methods and incentives for following and gathering information on potentially hinky behavior took more shoe leather and wood pulp review back then.

It's difficult to compare what we're seeing now with back then for other reasons, also... as many in this thread are pointing out.

I would not put money either way on them a) squeaking through with lots of help from GOPpie congresscritters; b) dragging it out for weeks/months before finally going paws-up; or c) the 'rapid devolution' scenario where a Constitutional crisis mushrooms within days.

Not a dime.

Could be any of those at this point.

FFS, these idiots thought it was a cool idea to have both the Russians AND the Prince of Darkness on display at the WH today... they could literally do ANYTHING.
