BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell cancels Senate's August recess due to "the historic obstruction by Senate Democrats of the president’s nominees, and the goal of passing appropriations bills prior to the end of the fiscal year."

No, I do believe in the "Magna Carta" Charter that set out the following three main principles:
1) Noone is above the law including the King/Queen.
2) Right to fair trial
3) People have the right to representation, i.e in Parliament.
That said however, should the Queen go out and commit a crime today, she would not be arrested, but she could be forced out by an act of Parliament... She could turn up in person though while they are sitting in the Commons and attempt to dissolve parliament and attempt to take control of the country.
The last monarch to do this was King Charles I. The result was a civil war between Parliament and the Crown, he was tried and sentenced to death for treason against the people of England and beheaded in January 1649. What an era to be alive in back then.  |
The "never ending witch hunt" has been underway just more than a year, with the Special Counsel being appointed in May 2017.
The Nixon investigation (Watergate) took from June 17 1972 (when 5 men were arrested trying to bug the DNC HQ at the Watergate) until August 8 1974 when Nixon resigned (over two years)
The House Clinton Benghazi hearings were initiated May 8 2014 (following previous House and Senate Committee hearings the previous year), with the final Committee Report published December 7 2016 (two and a half years)
The Whitewater Special Counsel was appointed January 20 1994, and the report was issued (the Starr Report) September 1998 (four and three quarters year later).
Just over one year is not very long in comparison to previous investigations.
