11. Trump's situation is worse than Nixon's

In that he was very close to the original crime of conspiracy, if not directly involved in it.

Nixon wasn’t that closely involved in the actual Watergate break-in.

The only way Trump is better off than Nixon is that the right wing lying machine didn’t exist in the 70’s.

I suspect that there is so much evidence that Fox et al won’t be able to save Trump. They will drag out the process but there is too much hard evidence of wrongdoing with cell phone records, emails, etc. These people left trails that a blind man could follow.
