I am not american and have only a brief understanding of their procedures and stuff. I heard somewhere that this situation is similar to what lead to nixons resignition. I am just very confused to what the accusations, plans, intrigues ect. are.

    The briefest of summaries (keeping in mind hand waving details)

    • NY Major is charged with taking bribes from the Turkish government
    • Trump ordered attorney in charge to drop the case
    • Attorney after attorney resigned with scathing resignation letter rather than drop the case because the decision to drop is obviously political
    • DOJ isn’t supposed to be political but independent
    • Almost 3x the number of attorneys resigned here than under Nixon
    • Under Nixon, this was the flame that started his impeachment. Under Trump, crickets.
