    There’s no “should,” there’s just how it is. Watergate took this long just to get to impeachment, and there was no federal criminal investigation into Nixon to go along with it:

    Watergate only ended Nixon’s presidential viability because Republicans still had some vague sense of shame at the time. Now they don’t. If you want ironclad criminal charges, the investigation requires time.
