Should I ever teach history, I want to teach my students to put themselves in the shoes of historical figures or people of the time period. If I ever get to teach college level 1990s presidential history, I promise you there will be an assignment dedicated to what the lawyers might have said when breaking the news to Hillary of Clinton‘s confession #confession #hillaryclinton #billclinton #impeachment #peterbaker #ushistory #uspolitics
Interesting how Hillary wrote a memo and did research on presidential impeachment- I love foreshadowing in history. #foreshadowing #irony #hillaryrodham #hillaryclinton #richardnixon #billclinton #impeachment #uspolitics #ushistory #history #politicalscience #presidency #peterbaker
Let‘s play a fun game called how many quotes can we read that we can apply to today? #billclinton #impeachment #peterbaker #unitedstates #uspresidency #uspolitics #ushistory #corruption #history #politicalscience
One positive from the Nixon investigation- both parties were willing to investigate to get to the truth. #impeachment #timothynaftali #richardnixon #resignation #bipartisan #houseofrepresentatives #senate #ushistory #uspolitics #investigation #history #politicalscience
So I like this quote because it reminds me of the Trump trials today. No matter what evidence is presented against Trump, his supporters will always find a way to rationalize it. #impeachment #timothynaftali #richardnixon #psychology #politicalscience #ushistory #uspolitics #history
It‘s more of an end of the chapter question, but I‘m going to ask it now. I think we can all see this will not end well. However, how would things have been different if Nixon had just cooperated and handed over what he was asked to hand over from the beginning? #discussion #richardnixon #impeachment #politicalscience #uspolitics #history #ushistory
Sometimes, we just make things worse for ourselves. #richardnixon #impeachment #trial #ushistory #timothynaftali #history #politicalscience #uspolitics
