I can only hope they have the guts and the patriotism to convict...
That's delusional, this is today's GOP not the GOP of Nixon days.
The Republicans of Nixon days were going to convict and remove Nixon because it was their sole path to reelection. Don't over-romanticize the halcyon days of past by pretending we used to be better people. Not true.
The GOP will turn on Sweet Potato Saddam when and only when it's clear that to stand with him will mean losing their reelection campaigns. And that is about public opinion - not nationwide, but specifically in their states.
Elliot Richardson and Archibald Cox might have disagreed.
