I remember it. the interval between June 17 1972 and August 9 1974 -- in between the time of the Watergate break-in and Nixon's resignation from office. The whole thing started over a relatively minor break-in at the Watergate, and spun out into conspiracies to silence people, fired Justice Department officials, congressional committees, and finally, the President who originated the phrase "It's not illegal if the President does it" resigned from office hours ahead of being impeached.
Now, 45 years later, we have another President who is working under a cloud of suspicion and derision. Suspicion because he and his campaign staff have, by all appearances, colluded with a hostile foreign power in using illegal means to gain information with which to alter the outcome of the election, and possibly even with Russian attempts to hack election boards nationwide. Further, The President has openly denied even the possibility of hacking or election tampering. Further, the President has fired the Director of the FBI in order to stonewall or stall the investigation that might show his people up as corrupt criminals. There are other, less notable things, but it is slowly becoming clear that there is a serious issue at hand here, one that might very well end the Trump presidency in an impeachment and removal from office.
