Watergate took years. From 1971, when the burglars were caught, to 1973 when Liddy was convicted, to 1974 when Nixon resigned.
In 1972 Nixon won a second term with a huge pop vote despite the burglary cloud. (I and everyone I knew voted for McGovern. We were devastated but there was no Russia meddling back then--only a dirty tricks mentality.)
In 1973 one of the burglars in jail said he was forced to perjure himself. This heated things up, as I remember, but it was late summer before things got really hot. Agnew resigned because they nailed him on corruption charges. The Saturday Night Massacre was that fall. The spring of 74 the hassle over releasing the tapes began. As I remember this is when most people began to desert Nixon because he was "acting" like he had something to hide.( Like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs one of my older friends said. Yrump is acting like he has a nine foot tail!) Sometime that summer the courts ordered that the actual tapes be turned over. There was plenty in the tapes to show that Nixon was a liar and a self centered megalomaniac (but nothing touching the things Trump has done and said publicly from the start.) Sometime in there All the President's Men came out. That got people talking--about like now. Impeachment began that summer and Nixon resigned In August of 1974.
This thing is going much faster but that is because Trump doing a lot of the work himself --s6

Apparently he was in on the Hilary E-mail investigations as well? He was brought in at the start of the Russian probe - maybe he's just sick to the back teeth of political double-dealing and had some sort of a melt-down in a meeting?
Guardian: Trump's lawyer emailed Kremlin about real estate project during campaign
And somehow they never seem to have employed these guys and Trump doesn't remember them.
Here's the cited WA Po story.
Cohen downplayed it in Congressional testimony similar to how Donald Jr downplayed the information on Clinton he got when meeting with Russians. And like that denial, those pesky facts are a problem.
