Pro-impeachment Democrats want Americans to see Richard Nixon when they look at Donald Trump

“I think that is the common wisdom at this point,” said Ohio Rep. Steve Chabot, one of two remaining Judiciary Committee Republicans who served on the panel during the Clinton impeachment fight. “Nobody knows for sure. But my advice to the Democrats having been through this before is to be very careful. And I think that should they decide to move forward on this, with the facts we have here, I think they’re in very dangerous waters for their political well-being.

“There’s a reason why Democratic candidates are having to think about the answer to that question,” said Michael Feldman, a longtime Democratic operative who worked in the Clinton White House and then served as Al Gore’s traveling chief of staff during the 2000 presidential campaign. “It’s not an easy question. It’s not apples to apples. There are differences for sure.

“I think it’s a completely inappropriate analysis to do,” said Rhode Island Democratic Rep. David Cicilline, another pro-impeachment House Judiciary Committee member. “This is about the defense of our democracy, upholding the rule of the law, demonstrating that no one in America including the president of the United States is above the law.”

No doubt, both of the modern American impeachment sagas — Nixon’s and Clinton’s — have loomed over the Trump White House from its start.

Neither

Our Great POTUS, who is responsible for our kicking economy and excellent stature in the world, is certainly NEITHER. JUST BECAUSE LIBS ARE FALSE-FRONTAGE MASTERS ARE WE DEALING WITH ANY OF THIS TIME WASTING BS!!!

I’d rather see Nixon, honestly.

at least Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Trump only knows how to destroy previous Presidents' work, or replicate bad ideas (walls, concentration camps)

Horse sh*t...at the very least Nixon loved America. Presidunce Trump only loves himself.

Sad part is Ford pardoned this criminal.

*yawn 😴

Guess what, we don't see Nixon. We see an orange Don Corleone wanna-be destroying democracy b/c he's owes Putin his life.

Trump is much worse than Nixon. There is very little comparable between the two.

No comparison... Trump is one of a kind! Nixon didn’t

Trump seems worse than Nixon. At least Nixon had some sense of guilt. Trump has none.

...more hate.

Yet another lame article. You are shameless Partisan hacks. IrresponsibleJournalism

'tricky dick' meet 'mushroom man'. I wonder if reading facts or telling the truth is a form of pornography for trump?

Did they find collusion with Nixon ?

Funny that comparison..Nixon spied on his opponents and lied about it...they should be comparing him to Obama..not trump.

It's not an interference, they have information -- I think I'd take it,' Trump said. 'If I thought there was something wrong, I'd go maybe to the FBI -- if I thought there was something wrong

The morning after watergate we knew a crime was committed Bill Clinton lies under oath. On TV. Trump hasn’t even come close to committing a crime.

He is both of them and so much more

I would say Trump is a mix of Nixon, Clinton, a Cheeto, and a traitorous 💩. That sounds about right.

“...and we here at Politico want to help them by repeating it and running stories about it! But don’t worry, we’re definitely not biased!” 🙄

One does not have to be 'pro-impeachment' to see the similarities between DJT's antics and Nixon's .

Too bad the people they are trying stir up weren’t born during Watergate 😐

Nixon!

.... RICHARD NIXON IS AN 'ANGEL' COMPARED TO DONALD TRUMP !!!! ..NIXON WAS NOT INVOLVED IN 'TAX 'FRAUD'...MONEY LAUNDERING'...CONNECTION WITH THE RUSSIANS...NOT INVOLVED IN TRUMP UNIVERSITY...DID NOT HAVE A STRING OF GIRLFRIENDS...

He's worse than Nixon.

No, Nixon was Nixon. Trump is far worse and has his own category of Presidential fuckery

He is far far worst!!!

Nixon is moving up in leaps and bounds in my opinion in comparison

Is Trump more Perry or Swift? Weak sauce. Look around you; the reality is screaming to be seen, and it's horrific.

they won't

Trump is far worse than any President the US has ever had. Trump thumbs his nose at the Constitution. Lawless

Poor Democrats, they only thing I see when reminded about Watergate Spying on the DNC, is the Obama Administration's Spying but on Steroids.

Well they'd better get on it then.

Politico is so transparent it is embarrassing.

He's worse than either of those two.lockhimup

realDonaldTrump is worse.

Too bad the Democrats don’t use their enthusiasm to help improve te lives of the American people.

Let's hope so.

I was hoping they would see me

Trump tries to contrast himself with Nixon: 'I don't leave'Trump was trying to draw a distinction between himself and Nixon - as if Nixon were some kind of quitter. But the truth isn't quite so simple. MaddowBlog Sadly, for us MaddowBlog Trump's bizarre belief that the lesson of Nixon is 'don't leave' bodes very ill for this nation.
