I keep look at that and waiting for it to fall, which i’m sure was the entire point of you posting it, but no matter how long i look at it, it just stands there, wavering a bit, but never collapsing! It’s driving me nuts!!!

Don’t forget Sharice Davids. She’s responsible for a Republicans in the Senate switching to be a Democrat! We now have 10 out of 40! I know it’s not much, but it’s a start. A very good start.

I think Mariia Butina is up tomorrow -some kind of hearing? Change of plea maybe. She is either smocked or bleeped.

That depends on whether NY state can adjust its double jeopardy statutes to exclude presidential pardons. This article is now six months old, but it sums up the problem nicely.

We escaped from Nebraska when my wife retired from UNL at the end of the 2014/15 academic year. Things are much better here.

Nice read. Thank you. Did some Googling and found that Democrats took the NY Senate in last month’s election and will now have a 40/23 advantage over Republicans. Democrats will also have more than a 2-1 majority in the state assembly. I’d say there’s probably a 100% chance that law will pass.
ETA: Also, even as the state law somehow stands, I’m not sure it would apply in the case of blanket pardons where no specific crime is noted. It would probably make its way to the state SC where it would be knocked down. The law was meant to avoid double jeopardy prosecutions and both the federal and state levels, but I question whether it could be just haphazardly apply to any crime associated with x,y, z. I can’t imagine that was the spirit of the law or it’s intent.

The Watergate burglary took place on June 17, 1972. Nixon resigned, hours ahead of the House voting articles of impeachment, on August 9, 1974. Rome was not built in a day.
Take comfort from the fact that once a certain point is reached events begin to move quite quickly. Circumstances are subject to change very quickly.

So hard to imagine so many years later how long it took. I remember that time well as I’d just moved from East coast to the West coast.Think I’m much more impatient now or just following all the twists and turns too closely.

Agreed. The snowball rolling down a hill is the best analogy here. I think/hope/believe we will see much more movement in the investigation in the next six months than has happened all of this year or even maybe more than what we’ve seen of the entire investigation thus far.
Without the internet and cable news or even a wide variety of readily available news sources, people had to necessarily be much more patient. Plus, Nixon was crazy as hell toward the end, getting wasted and conversing with paintings, but he was never as nuts as PP was even before the investigation began.

It’s like the old saying about how people go bankrupt, “gradually, then all at once”
Attributed to all sorts of people including from a Hemmingway novel that had the line as “Gradually, then suddenly” but I think I read somewhere once that it also shows up in the UK in the 1800s somewhere, can’t remember.
