In the case of Watergate, however, it was the repubs who persuaded Tricky Dick to resign by telling him that they'd have to vote to impeach him.

I can't imagine that happening today.

No doubt that the Clintons are slime and we're well rid of them, but when the GOP cries foul when the dems conduct witch hunts, I just smile.
