1. Recommended.

I love Lawrence!

2. Why does he say that?

IMHO, it's WORSE.

Way, way worse.

3. Got that right... WAYYY WORSE!!!

4. Nixon had a dem majority congress so it's not going to go down the same path.

Besides, back then both Repub and Dems wanted him out. This time it won't happen unless it gets SOOOO bad that his base tells the Repub congress to get rid of him. It will take a long time to get to that point. IF we get control in 2018 then maybe there's a chance and that's a big IF. I'll be a basket case by then.

5. It will get SOOOOOOOOOO bad, eventually. So the question is how many Rs

will be willing to go down with the ship.

7. With any kind of good luck,

ALL of them! Every last one of the anti-American traitors called republican.

6. It MAY get sooooooooooooo bad

as of the next 72 hours..........
Im not saying anyone will SAY hes a traitor or anything
I just think he may LOSE it before they can get to the weekend.

8. What we do FINALLY have is the big media attention.

Playing this for all it's worth on msnbc and to some degree CNN. The others will smell the advertising dollars such controversy will bring in. Even the conservative Gannett's USA Today is hopping on the bash 45 train.

I've hope that this will affect those rethugs in Congress. The polls are showing they're in trouble supporting Trump.

Your big IF will grow smaller, so hang on.

13. Comey testimony will be carried live by all the broadcast networks

The original broadcast networks, CBS, NBC, ABC and presumably FOX starting at 10AM on Thursday. Those who only have very basic cable or antenna/converter box will get to see and learn what's really going on. My guess is that set of viewers emcompasses more than its share of Trump voters.

14. starting at 10 am Eastern Time?

[DeminPennswoods]

17. Yes, 10AM eastern

is what I believe I heard.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's on NPR, too.

[Duppers]

20. I take everything I said above back.

I expected more positive things from the press today, instead we've gotten right-wing spin almost everywhere, especially broadcast media.

Was there one liberal interviewed anywhere? Hell no. RW media is worse than my big washer - spin, spin, spin. I feel gut punched.

Mueller is our only hope.

Sigh.

9. Yes it could get much worse then Watergate and still he may not get impeached.

McConnell and Ryan must decide that impeaching him would further their agenda better than keeping him in power before he can be impeached.
No traitorous actions no matter how damaging to the country will make a whit of difference to them.
They don't care about morals, democracy, law, the constitution, people's lives or anything else.
All they stand for is personal power.

These two are the only people who can impeach Trump and they aren't likely to do it anytime soon.

[pnwmom]

10. The worse it gets the more likely we will win back the House in 2018,

and then he will be impeached.

And in the meantime, the worse it gets, the harder it will be for the R's to get their agenda through Congress.

[CentralMass]

16. +1

[SunSeeker]

11. The parallels are uncanny. Except Trump's transgressions include treason.

So it is much worse than Watergate.

[pnwmom]

12. Obstruction, treason, espionage, tax evasion, and probably

some international money-laundering.

Yes, it will turn out to be much worse.

[FenwayDonkey]

15. It's much worse than Watergate*

[Gothmog]

18. O'Donnell is right

[Amaryllis]

19. Much badder than WG.
