In the Nixon impeachment there were several articles, including subverting the coercive agencies of government; attempting to manipulate the CIA, FBI and NSA; lying to the American people and the Senate and House; blaming the media; and the CIA, NSA and FBI and other clandestine agencies of government for what his henchmen had done. It is as if Donald Trump is communicating with his dead predecessor, Richard Nixon, and following exactly his course into impeachment.The sad, perhaps catastrophic, circumstance is, with one caveat, like Tudor England: that the perpetrator-in-chief must first bleed to death before impeachment would work. Impeachment now would be a catastrophe. Half the population would likely take up arms against the other half. It is only when the Republicans, as in the Nixon impeachment, take the walk from Capitol Hill to the White House, and we're not even close to that time. When John McCain, Lindsey Graham and their colleagues of the right are ready, will we be ready for impeachment. Before that, a special prosecutor should be named in that Jeff Sessions, the attorney general, is among the suspects in this sad story.
