I am not american and have only a brief understanding of their procedures and stuff. I heard somewhere that this situation is similar to what lead to nixons resignition. I am just very confused to what the accusations, plans, intrigues ect. are.

Thank you for the explanation. Can you also please explain how all of these people resigning isn’t exactly doing what they want? If everyone resigns, isn’t that a clear path to no resistance?

They have to put someone in that position who is willing to do it. If they don't resign they'll just be fired and replaced anyway. It's an act of resistance to resign and it also brings a lot of attention to the situation.
