I tried avoid "what if.." constructions because they are too tempting, but those of us who lived through the 90s know that if Bill Clinton had ever been thought to have done anything like Trump himself has admitted with the Comey firing, the New York Times and Washington Post would have had daily thundering editorials demanding impeachment. CNN, MSNBC, and (of course) a newborn Fox network would have had a some sort of "impeachment countdown clock" and nightly "AMERICA IN CRISIS" shows.
