Be patient.

Watergate burglary happened in June 1972. It took two years for the watergate hearings in summer of 1974.

That was some summer. I remember the hearings were on network radio most of the time (it was a Repub being impeached after all!). I was driving trucks for a summer job and heard every word. So much to do about nothing!

Here, our Government wouldn't give proper security (should have brought them home), abandoned a diplomat (and others) during a battle and lied for weeks about it.

Nixon did the right thing and resigned as he couldn't govern anymore; we'll be lucky if this scandle lasts another 3 weeks.

Obama would never resign. He doesn't have an ounce of integrity. (When is the last time you heard the word “integrity” even mentioned in connection with this administration - never.)

The dam began to break early in 1973 thanks to Judge Sirica and James McCord. In the summer of 1973 there were the Ervin committee hearings which dominated the news. Howard Baker asked, "What did the President know and when did he know it?" but it looked like the Nixon loyalists would protect Nixon himself...until we learned about the tapes. After the Saturday Night Massacre in October, the impeachment proceedings got started. Yes, there were hearings in the summer of 1974 but those were the House Judiciary Committee hearings (Peter Rodino) which led to the vote on articles of impeachment.

That's where Hillary got her start. Fellow Democrat Jerome Zeifman observed her at the time and has denounced her unethical conduct.

In an era where "news" is gone in 72 hours, that will NOT WORK. IT HAS TO BE NOW - TODAY - while some attention is being given to BenghaziGATE even by the likes of SeeBS. Two years from now no one will even remember it.
