11. Watergate took about two years and we ended up with

a presidential resignation, and more than 40 government officials were indicted or jailed, and that was just for one, third rate burglary. Now look at everything that's flying around Trump:

1). Robert Mueller is heading the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections and possible collusion in this effort by the Trump campaign.

2). House intelligence committee is looking at Russian involvement and collusion of the Trump campaign with Russia, and allegations against former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

3). Senate intelligence committee is focused on Russia's involvement in the 2016 presidential election, including in the Republican primaries, and more possible Trump campaign collusion.

4). The House oversight committee is looking into the firing of FBI director Comey and whether Trump put pressure on Comey to shut down the Russia investigation.

5). Senate judiciary committee is investigating The White House including the firing of attorney general Sally Yates, and they now want the White House to turn over all audio recordings, transcripts, notes, etc., related to Comey's firing.


Will we get results similar to Watergate and see a Trump resignation? Given the scope of all these investigations, how many of Trump's staff will be indicted or jailed? Be patient, these investigation into Trump's crimes have only been going on for a few months, but if we get him and his whole nest of treasonous snakes in the end, it will be worth the wait.
