With the Russia probes and special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation heating up, we’ve heard one phrase repeated over and over by President Donald Trump to describe the situation — “witch hunt.”

Yep, good ol’ Tricky Dick spouted those words while dealing with Watergate, which eventually brought his presidency down as he resigned rather than face impeachment.
