On June 25, 1973, former White House counsel John Dean shocked the country with his testimony to a Senate committee revealing President Richard M. Nixon’s complicity in the Watergate coverup. He recalled “telling the president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency and that if the cancer was not removed that the President himself would be killed by it.” He thereby set in motion the process that led to Nixon’s downfall a little more than a year later.

It has taken 49 years, almost to the day, but on Tuesday afternoon we finally heard congressional testimony about presidential misconduct whose shock value might rival Dean’s. The question now is whether the Republican Party will finally realize that former president Donald Trump is not fit to hold office — that, indeed, our democracy might not survive another Trump term.

Thanks Hon. You'll get a sweet book deal and you'll be on every Sunday morning talk show. The liberal media will treat you like a conquering hero. Probably get a cushy Wall Street job too. Thanks again.

I guess that at least the US legal system figured out that hearsay can be easily manipulated and banished it for good reason some time back.

Now we get an object lesson.

Smoking gun ... makes me think of a Yosemite Sam cartoon where his six shooter has blown up in his face.

Yes, that kind of smoking gun.
