Nixon himself and the people around him brought an end to his presidency. Yes, his paranoia was justified (they were out to get him from the late 40's onward). And he did nothing in comparison with what JFK and LBJ committed with impunity. But as a Republican he could not be allowed the same permits given out at birth to Democrats.

Speaking of which, a list of "Democrat Privileges" would factually outweigh anything connected with "White".

For the life of me, I can't understand why Nixon forced out his Attorney General Richard Kleindienst and replaced him with Elliot Richardson. Although he called himself a Republican, Richardson was a liberal Boston Brahmin and Ivy Leaguer--the same sort of folks who had opposed Nixon since the start of his political career. Kleindienst, a Goldwater man, would never in a million years have chosen Archibald Cox, a Kennedy man, as the Watergate special prosecutor.
