    51 years ago today 10/20/73 "The Saturday Night Massacre"

    AG Richardson & Dep. AG Ruckelshaus won't obey Nixon & resign instead
    of firing WG Special Prosecutor Cox. Bork does & a major
    constitutional crisis occurs, also just one day after John Dean pled
    guilty to obstruction.

    Donald Trump was going to replace AG Jeff Rosen with election denier
    Jeff Clark, and the only reason he didn't was his deputy Richard
    Donoghue said the whole dept would resign if he did.
