"Mike Pence in 2018 sounds too much like Richard Nixon in 1974," Hughes told Salon by email. "Nixon, like Pence, said that the administration was cooperating with the investigation, that a year was long enough, and that it was time for it to end. But one of the reasons the Watergate investigation went on so long was that the president was obstructing justice, and that is a question that the current investigation has to grapple with as well. The Trump administration has to learn, as the Nixon administration did, that an investigation ends when all the relevant wrongdoing has been uncovered, not when the people being investigated want it to go away."
