EXCERPT:
O'DONNELL: "And so, the special counsel is here. This is the new chapter, the special counsel. President Nixon got a special prosecutor assigned to investigate his administration five years into his presidency, a presidency that survived only one more year because of that special prosecutor who sent 48 members of the Nixon administration to prison. A month after President Nixon resigned, he was pardon by his successor, President Jerry Ford. Ronald Reagan faced a special prosecutor six years into the Reagan presidency in the Iran–Contra investigation. Bill Clinton got his special prosecutor exactly two years into his presidency. That special prosecutor worked for four years and more. And four years after he -- he was appointed, that -- work of that special prosecutor led to Bill Clinton’s impeachment in the House of Representatives followed by his acquittal in a trial in the United States Senate, presided over by the chief justice of the United States, as called for by the Constitution. I’m bringing back all these scenarios to you so that you can imagine one of these versions playing out with different names -- in 2017, or 2018. George W. Bush got his special prosecutor three years into his presidency. Donald Trump got his special prosecutor 118 days into his presidency. And last night Republican Senator John McCain said that the controversy surrounding President Trump are, quote, 'reaching the point where it’s of Watergate size and scale.' And if that’s true, if what Senator McCain said about Watergate and the Trump presidency is true, if that proves to be true, then Donald Trump might only have 14 months left in his presidency. That’s how long it took a special prosecutor to get rid of President Nixon. Today John McCain seemed to think that that could all happen faster this time."
