The advantage to the Democrats is that it will keep the issue in front of the public for months, if not years. If it were just the Mueller investigation, he'd release his report, and the news would die rather quickly.

that what we know seems to indicate that it should, there is the lawsuit. On ALL the issues that the Dems deem relevant and for which they want ...I wonder what relief they're asking for. I'll have to read that.

for their Blog on this fascinating history. Loved it - I think it's brilliant.

I did not remember the Dems sued the WH over the "third rate burglary." Damn a lot has happened since then.

Hadn't realized Brinkley was such a snark.

When Watergate was happening, I was a busy young mom with two little ones, and since there was no CNN or any other 24-hour news channels, or the Internet, I didn't get the full story. In fact, until Rachel's show, I thought the movie All the President's Men pretty much covered it.

Thanks, Rachel! Ya done good!

was - amazingly - an assistant prosecutor on the Watergate investigation in 1973-74!
