The only difference here is that DJT will not be enshrined as a great Prez. Even with Barr’s whitewashing and no impeachment trial he’ll go down as the worst in history.
Nixon’s Barr, AG John Mitchell, enlisted former FBI agent Steve King to prevent his wife Martha from learning about Watergate or contacting reporters. While she was on a phone call with journalist Helen Thomas about Watergate, King pulled the phone cord from the wall. Mrs. Mitchell was held against her will in a California hotel room and forcefully sedated by a psychiatrist after a physical struggle with five men that left her needing stitches.
Nixon’s Huckabee-Sanders, in an effort to cover up & discredit her, told the press that she had a “drinking problem”.
Nixon told interviewer David Frost that Martha was a distraction to John Mitchell, and “If it hadn’t been for Martha Mitchell, there’d have been no Watergate, we had ourselves covered pretty well”
When asked to comment about a forthcoming article that reported that he controlled a political slush fund used for gathering intelligence on the Democrats, Nixon’s Barr famously uttered a threat to reporter Carl Bernstein: “Katie Graham [publisher of the Washington Post] is gonna get her tit caught in a big fat wringer if that’s published.”
Nixon’s Barr, AG Mitchell, was tried & found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury and sentenced to two and a half to eight years in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal and cover-up.
Nixon, facing impeachment, resigned and later admitted to everything.
…[N]obody because of their position in society has the right to cheat and to get somebody to lie for them, even as the president. That means we’re not a nation of men or kings. We’re a nation of laws, and that’s what this case has always been about to me … He turned the judicial system upside down, every way but loose. He sent his friends to lie for him. He lied for himself.
.
By now no doubt you’ve gathered that this was in late 1998/early 1999 and he was talking about Bill Clinton,
It’s also worth remembering that Nixon was brought down for the cover up – something that Trump has already demonstrably done! He’s guiltier than Nixon was known to be when he resigned.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating has taken a hit since the redacted Mueller report was released to the public on Thursday morning. According to a new poll by Reuters/Ipsos, Trump’s approval rating now stands at 37 percent, a 2019 low.The poll, which saw a three point drop from a similar poll taken just five days earlier, which showed the president with a 40 percent approval rating, was conducted Thursday afternoon to Friday morning, after U.S. Attorney General William Barr went out of his way to put the best face he could on Mueller’s report.Fifty percent of the adults polled said they believe that President Trump tried to stop the Mueller investigation. And fifty percent said they think Trump or someone from his campaign worked with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
So this is how Biff Tannen expy for Donald J. Trump saved Nixon and created the nightmare world alternate 1985 where Nixon is still president and still in Vietnam.See it in BTTF #2 and pray nothing like that happens in the year 2019.

Compared to Trump, Nixon was a great president. Hell. Compared to Trump, Buchanan was a great president.

Dems should go for impeachment, there is nothing to lose.
If the Republicans reject it, the voters can reject the Republicans.

From the Mueller Report there are 47 sealed indictments in Missouri in 2019 alone.
It looks like the feds are taking down the mob.
