“When the president does it, that means it’s not illegal.” Richard Nixon, 1977, David Frost interview.

Idk, kinda seems like this is just what would’ve happened if Nixon had Fox News batting for him.

Not quite. He was told that there were enough votes against him (including from his own party) that he’d lose impeachment proceedings, and that was the impetus for his resignation.
