My point is: How often are presidents held accountable for their actions? I could name at the very least two or three things Clinton did that were worse than the Watergate break in, but he finished two terms in office. Have you ever read how blatantly FDR misused the IRS to ruin his political opponents. Obviously, I could go on.
Nixon was a crook, but how many modern presidents weren't?
That the left succeeded in removing him from office over a minor thing, compared to what some other Republican and Democrats did, and probably to other things Nixon did, was a singular achievement. And one that they seek to repeat with Trump.
How can a piece that calls the rightful prosecution of President Nixon’s machinations around Watergate a “leftist coup” be taken seriously?
Can a duly elected officeholder not still be held accountable for his actions ?

The legal system serves political ends, obviously. That’s why politics is lousy with LAWYERS. Have you noticed?
