One thing that jumps out from the “media got Russia probe wrong” montages is how much Watergate still informs DC punditry. A lot of the first “this is it for Trump” quotes were about the firing of Comey; the precedent DC went to immediately was the Sunday Night Massacre.

And this is where you lose me.

You had the GOP win the next presidential election post Iran-Contra and figures in the scandal involved in politics for all the decades on. Clinton, the next election was soaked in media demanding Dems distance themselves from Clinton.

Even on a lesser example, Jim Jordan is still a Congressman in good standing.

Meanwhile, things like Bengazhi, et al.. still dog Dems despite being thin, partisan red meat. Again, seems like only one party gets to skirt out of scandal by pure obstinacy.
