WATCH: Conaway: No conclusion on collusion, but 'we found no evidence' in House Intel Committee investigation pic.twitter.com/C7ul3ejXbj
My memory is fuzzy but at this equivalent point, Ken Starr had at least turned up a few things.14 months, millions of dollars, dozens of interviews, hundreds of thousands of documents and still nothing.
11 of the Strongest anti Trump Democratic attorneys and investigators and nadda

This whole Russia conspiracy theory really has no basis to it whatsoever.
It's been forever since I read up on Watergate but my impression was the minute the investigation started, high ranking members of the administration began cutting deals instantly. That's one reason things unraveled so quickly.With Watergate, on this timeline there were people in prison and a President resigned.

Obviously nothing like that has happened with President Trump, which is kind of interesting.
Unraveling arguably the most powerful Presidential administration in American history in just two years? Yeah, that's pretty quick. Other powerful administrations like Reagan, latter day Clinton, Bush 43 have nothing on the Nixon administration. A more average administration like Trump's would've been done for a long time ago if they had anything significant to hide.You mean over the course of two years?

Not on Clinton. What was the original investigation about, anyway? As I recall, it never really ended after Travelgate yielded nothing, Whitewater ditto, FBI files ditto, sexual harassment finally gave us Monica Lewinsky and Clinton's stupid denial. How many years did that take?My memory is fuzzy but at this equivalent point, Ken Starr had at least turned up a few things.
That is patently false. It may be that there was no illegal activity on the campaign staff, other than what has already been filed, or there may be - the investigation is ongoing so conclusions are premature, either way.This whole Russia conspiracy theory really has no basis to it whatsoever.
My memory is quite different. No one cut deals and it looked as though Nixon would be clear until John Dean, then Alexander Butterfield mentioned the tapes.It's been forever since I read up on Watergate but my impression was the minute the investigation started, high ranking members of the administration began cutting deals instantly. That's one reason things unraveled so quickly.
You haven't been paying attention. George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn and Rick Gates are said to have made deals. Pressure is on Paul Manafort; he may crack.Obviously nothing like that has happened with President Trump, which is kind of interesting.
So what will it be, Hislegacy? What will you say when Mueller finally concludes his investigation and drops charges against Trump?
How many times was Sec. Clinton cleared in House Intel Committee investigations into Benghazi! - seven? eight? nine? - yet she never seems to actually be cleared. How does that work?WATCH: Conaway: No conclusion on collusion, but 'we found no evidence' in House Intel Committee investigation pic.twitter.com/C7ul3ejXbj

In the meanwhile, there are the ongoing Senate and Special Prosecutor investigations, the latter of which has resulted in several indictments so far.
It's good the House investigation ended - it was apparently very leaky.
With Watergate, on this timeline there were people in prison and a President resigned.
90 days later
- June 17, 1972: The plumbers are arrested at 2:30 a.m. in the process of burglarizing and planting surveillance bugs in the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate Building Complex.
Less than 7 months later:
- September 15, 1972: Hunt, Liddy, and the Watergate burglars are indicted by a federal grand jury.
Four months later
- January 8, 1973: Five defendants plead guilty as the burglary trial begins. Liddy and James W. McCord Jr. are convicted after the trial.
June to April is less than a year last I looked.
- April 30, 1973: Senior White House administration officials Ehrlichman, Haldeman, and Richard Kleindienst resign, and John Dean is fired.
Note this is when they started looking at the President.
- May 19, 1973: Independent special prosecutorArchibald Cox appointed to oversee investigation into possible presidential impropriety.
At this time in the investigation high ranking members of the Presidents team were in jail and the investigation was expanding.
- July 27 to July 30, 1974: House Judiciary Committee passes Articles of Impeachment.
There are zero charges currently having anything to do with the election.
And, less than a year into Trump’s presidency, senior members of his campaign/administration are either awaiting sentence or are indicted. Right on the timeline. That means we should expect Donnie/David/John to fall on his sword in about another year....
Not one charge for collusion or anything has to do with the campaign.
