Last night Rachel talked about "Slow Burn"

which is a podcast detailing, in minute detail, Watergate and the fall of Richard Nixon.

I am still listening to it and I recommend others listen as well.

History has a way of repeating itself.

... know they were obstructing justice.

Not that it matters but that's exactly what Red Don and the Kremlin KKKlan look like they're doing

My Mom was absolutely glued to the hearings in the day, so I look forward to a deep look back to better understand what all went on (and when).... I'm hoping it might be reassuring in some sense.

First, this is collusion with a foreign enemy. Second, the GOP in place during Watergate did NOT put party over country. The GOP who a few months ago were backing the Mueller Investigation and the investigations in both chambers now have flipped!!!! They are now obstructing justice along with the Moron. They will never impeach and will do everything in their power (legality and/or constitutionality does not apply to them) to rig the midterms. I expect this 100% now!
