For Liberals, the Watergate Hangover Has Been Excruciating

As Donald Trump’s legal challenges multiply, so do comparisons of him to Richard Nixon, the only president ever removed from office.

1 We’re getting used to headlines like “How Trump’s Scandals Mimic Watergate,” “Trump Is Going Full Nixon on Mueller” and “Who’s Worse, Trump or Nixon?”

Turn on MSNBC on a given night, and you’ll hear veterans of the Watergate scandal like John Dean and the prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks explaining the parallels — the special prosecutor, the witnesses who may “flip,” the possible subpoena of the president.

At the same time, however, prominent liberals, including Democratic Representative Adam Schiff of California and Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe, are trying to tamp down talk of impeachment.
