potbunker Bye guys and GolfBuzz. Sad as if you are long timers you know better.

Sorry to see you go, pot. Hope you change your mind one day. My email is dandreasteve@gmail.com if you want to keep in touch.

    Par4QC He would have finished his term, had he not resigned! 45 yrs. later will show no different. That investigation had been ongoing for over 2 yrs. when he stepped down; needlessly. He would not have been impeached. Same 'collateral damages' as this investigation.....aides, etc. getting dragged down and thrown in prison. Wouldn't have happened to Nixon, won't happen to Trump. You know all the facts of this situation.....& you know he skates.

    P.S.- Voted for Nixon!! (also voted for Clinton twice) I like crooks, although Nixon was not one.🤓

    You're wrong that Nixon wouldn't have been impeached. He most certainly would have and he would've been convicted in the Senate also. And it was Republicans (like Barry Goldwater) who told Nixon he had to resign.

    The votes were there in the House and Senate. Unlike this Republican party where they put their own political careers ahead of the countries by backing Trump.

    I have to say that I'm surprised by your Nixon comments. We've heard the tapes. Had Ford not pardoned him he very well could've gone to jail. And just like Nixon, Trumps worst crime may be obstructing justice. The coverup is where these guys get taken down.

    I watched the Watergate hearings in 1973. I was a political junkie back then even. There's so many similarities between Watergate and Trumps scandal with Russia. Russian hacking into the DNC is nothing more than a high tech Watergate burglary. John Dean was Nixon's lawyer and Trump has Cohen etc..

    What brought Nixon down was the tapes. Trump is technology illiterate, doesn't do email or texting. That could help save him, who knows. I will say this, Nixon had his faults / issues, but he was certainly capable of doing the job as president. Trump is ignorant, incapable and is in way over his head.

    I could go on and on, but it is what it is.

        Sneakywrong, Just what has Donald J Trump done that is an impeachable offense? Actual facts please, not your usual bull shit.

        RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA! Enough already. What exactly did the Russians do? Put a bunch of crap on Facebook? Who cares? Facebook is full of crap 24 7. Expose Hillary’s e mails? If there was wrong doing in her E mails wouldn’t you rather know! Why didn’t the Russians effect any voting in New York City or LA or Chicago? Did they concentrate their efforts on Lebanon PA? The whole Russia thing is an expensive joke.

        Sneakylong Bribery, treason, or other serious crimes & misdemeanors.

        The ONLY causes for impeachment.

        As you said, times were different in '74; the country was not as it is today with all the media outlets. Nixon was, himself, worn down by over 2 yrs. of all of it, and imo, he just wanted out. He set it up very nicely to get a full pardon. I still do not believe he could have been impeached/removed, and I even think he knew it himself.

        So now.....whatcha got for REAL facts/REAL proof on this President's (pending) impeachment? LOL
        He ain't going anywhere. You do realize if a President is tried, in the Senate(if it should ever get that far), and convicted(needs 2/3 majority), that same Senate then has to do another vote for removal? IOW, he could be 'fully' impeached and stay in office. Bet that thought pisses people off; actually it wouldn't.....they do not have a clue as to the process!

        Interesting times we live in.
