The latest revelations from the Mueller investigation showing criminal activity by those surrounding then candidate Donald Trump, and even potential felonies (an impeachable offense) perpetrated by the Donald himself have brought on a strong wave of nostalgia for an earlier constitutional crisis.

And I don’t mean the GOP’s failed Clinton impeachment but — wait for it — Watergate.

H2Ogate Blues

And the poem is called “H2O-G-A-T-E Blues”
And if H2O is still water, and G-A-T-E is still gate
What we’re getting ready to deal on is the Watergate Blues
(Rated X!)  

Let me see if I can dial this number right quick
*Click! Whirrr! Click!*
“I’m sorry, the government you have elected is inoperative
Click. Inoperative”                 

[Verse 2:]
Just how blind will America be? (There ain’t no telling)
The world is on the edge of its seat
Defeat on the horizon. Very surprising that we all
Could see the plot and claimed that we could not… (Alright)

Gil Scott-Heron/ Brian Jackson

Yeah, the real old days — way, way back to the 1970’s when articles of impeachment against President Nixon passed — with bipartisan support in the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee. Nixon, widely believed to be guilty of various crimes, resigned — some say to save the nation suffering a trial. He was quickly pardoned of all crimes by President Gerald Ford.

Any bets on how current events will fit the Watergate rhyme?
