“Look, nothing is going gently into the night at the end of this drama, no matter who wins. Nixon was a reflection of Nixon. Watergate was not about the country. It was, above all, about Nixon. The Trump story is all tied up with the country itself. I felt even before this started that we are in a cold civil war. And Trump has brought the cold civil war to the point of near ignition.”
— Carl Bernstein, quoted by the New Yorker, on how the effort to impeach President Trump is very different than the Watergate era.
