Correlation isn't necessarily causation.

There was a lot going on in 1974. Republicans had much of the power, and the people were not happy with the path we were on.

Yeah but really now - Watergate was the biggest political event going on then, one of the biggest political events in history. It was intensely damaging to the GOP brand. Dragging it out into an actual GOP civil war - with the President's defenders attacking his prosecutors and vice-versa in a months-long spectacle of internal conflict - would have just made it even worse.

Again, it can be the right thing to do - but impeaching and convicting your own President will never be to your political advantage.
