Even in the case of Nixon I believe it took like 2 years from when the Watergate stuff broke out before he eventually resigned.

We've hoped this a for about 100 news stories so I'm not getting that excited but the real hope is that the approval rating bombs on trump and causes Republicans to ditch him

Trump is now trying to see if impeachment can be settled out of court.
I think it's fair to say that Watergate looks tame as fuck compared to what is happening here though.

lmao this is absolutely Bannon talking, and when even Bannon is like "he's fucked", he's fucked.

This is true, but this is happening way faster than Watergate. This is like Hyper Watergate II Turbo Edition

True but that was before people were bombarded with information 24/7. They're not going to be able to stretch it out like without the GOP doing massive damage to itself. Even more than what has already been done. Anyway, if everything is true, Watergate pales in comparison.
So usually you would expect the FBI-director to inform the DoJ, the senate or the house no?
Just a speculation of course, but could it be that he felt it would impeade the investigation? That he would be replaced by a stooge if he did?
I mean we know Session had contact with the russians and quite possibly is under investigation. So one would assume he would run straight to Trump if Comey told him .
We know the house committee most likely is or at least was comprised due to Nunes' shannigans.
Cant speak to the Senate Committee. Is there any rumours of dubious stuff going around there?

Real news here is that CNN was able to find some GOP to defend this where FOX got nothing.

Yeah but it's pretty obvious there was something with Russia going on. It may not have been full collusion, but there was too much smoke

Well any way to not get on the stand as his lawyers have advised him...

A year and some change.
Also this is like 100x worse than Watergate, across the board.
Please read your source again. It does not say Trump was in the room.
If you believe random unverified tweets, and also misinterpret what news stories from tabloids are actually saying, you are falling into the same problem that many on the right have with fake news. If there is no precedent to Jon Cooper being right in the past, you have no reason to believe his tweet. He could even be joking (possible, since he's tweeting about Trump dementia) and you would be in a worse position than the fake news crowd--believing in joke tweets that were not meant to be considered real reporting.

Looking forward to the Trump preemptive self-pardon.

Sorry but who is this?
"I wasn't guilty of anything, OK? I resigned and was pardoned by Pence. I was never found guilty of anything, period. It was all fake news Democrats came up with because they were bitter about losing the election. I was going to make America great again until they came around and screwed it up."
Today feels radically different. Today is the only day where meaningful numbers of republicans have seen the writing on the wall. Might still take ages but Tuesday the 16th has felt pivotal in terms of tone.
And now lets see who did and didn't read story in OP
Haha I didn't read the OP, found thread after reading news.

Can't be impeached if you resign. Worked for Nixon.

It's just Trump's hired goons, not the regular rank and file GOP. They're all still cowering in their bomb shelters afaik.

As they say, "It's the cover-up that gets you."
Yup, that combined with Breitbart not trying to "FAKE NEWS" this is telling.
Yeah, I'm guessing it's Bannon, too. At this point the crazy fucker must hate Trump with a passion.
So basically, trump is the guy who gets pulled over for a busted turn signal, but freaks out and starts an hour-long high-speed chase.
He definitely has ties to Russia. Like proven ones. Even the house purchase reeks to high heaven.
The number of calls for violence and veiled 2nd amendment tweets I've read today is disturbing as it is. This type of bullshit isn't helping anyone. Someone yesterday mentioned to watch for the next step, which would be openly dehumanizing the opposition and openly questioning the value of their lives.
It feels absurd to think that widespread violence could occure, and I hope I'm insane for entertaining these thoughts, but the polarization is real and nothing really surprises me anymore.
There you go numble... discredit that unverified yelling.

I think you'll see a lot of what we saw during the Obama administration - a few independent actors that, sadly, are going to hurt and/or kill a few innocent people but I doubt this is going to lead to much. If Trump's this far out of the mainstream I doubt his base is going to get a whole lot of lip service outside of a few nutcases.
That did just make me think - the GOP already had to distance themselves from Bush, now they'll have to do the same thing with Trump, only more severely. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of limp-dick assholes.
