Nixon and Clinton were both charged with obstruction

Dershowitz paints a pretty specific scenario

You're not smart enough to think for yourself

Was lying to a grand jury part part of Bill Clinton’s constitutionally vested executive powers? Because firing a Comey and directing him was Trump’s, I could go on making you look stupid all day.

Not in the most common aspect or definition of being “charged”. They were never charged in a court of law.
Nixon was only officially accused/charged by the House Judiciary Committee 27-11. Before whole House voted he resign and matters were allowed to rest.
Clinton was accused/charged by the whole House 221-212 and an article of impeachment was presented to the Senate.

Exactly. Specifically Mueller cannot charge (legally) only accuse (politically). Even the House can only politically not legally charge POTUS with articles of impeachment.

The vast majority of Americans are. But many have been mislead by DNC/MSM Political Complex into ignorantly believing that Mueller will enter a Federal Court and charge Trump.

Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. Something Scooter Libby, and everyone else who lies under oath, goes to jail for.

Nixon refused to turn over White House tapes that were under subpoena and related to the break in and cover up at Watergate hotel.

Nixon's "obstruction" was refusing a duly authorized subpoena that related directly to that break in.

It was also alleged that Nixon ordered the destruction, like Hilary did, of evidence that investigators wanted.

The only comparison between Nixon and now is a question of abuse of the power of office.
Now the abuses of power is being carried out by the political fan boys and girls that head, but shouldn't, fed agencies.
