In a statement accompanying the release of what became known as the "Smoking Gun Tape" on August 5, 1974, Nixon accepted blame for misleading the country about when he had been told of White House involvement, stating that he had had a lapse of memory.[229] Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, Senator Barry Goldwater, and House Minority Leader John Jacob Rhodes met with Nixon soon after. Rhodes told Nixon he faced certain impeachment in the House. Scott and Goldwater told the president that he had, at most, only 15 votes in his favor in the Senate, far fewer than the 34 needed to avoid removal from office.[230]

Trump has survived 7 political ending issues.
The smoking gun tape has emerged. And it gets worse. And it’ll only get worse.
I understand that Newspapers do not bother saying this just like they jumped to “he’ll never be convicted”
Not should he be convicted. I have NOT heard any paper talk specifically about the fact he should be removed.
That did us a disservice. The same kind of pressure that Nixon felt is just “we’ll eventually he’ll be acquitted”. We are finding out he probably did favors to Dictators. That he did it.
I am going to start saying in most every comment that he should resign. I’m going to call Rob Portman today and ask if he believes Trump should resign if this is all true.
I hope (maybe after Bolton testifies) Schiff, and others begin the narrative.
Cuz the reality is HE SHOULD. He should’ve after Mueller. After the Access Hollywood tape (pulled out).
We are being robbed of a legitimate discussion because “he’ll be acquitted anyways”.
Trump should resign.
If I tweeted I’d start a hashtag. I do honestly think there is a chance that eventually the Party cuts bait. He and McConnell had this thing planned. McConnell got burnt which means he is not protecting his people. Do they want to acquit a guy who made deals with Autocrats (and we all know it’s so much worse).
