Can't agree about Nixon.

Okay, he was a little paranoid, but people WERE after him.

And sending a few goons to break into a psychiatrist's files pales in comparison with certain people grabbing FBI files on everyone in the known universe.

We're at cross-purposes here. Nixon's grandest crime, in both a legal and a moral sense, was not some picayune invasion of a doctor's office or any of that lot; it was the imposition, by executive order and without any Constitutional authority whatever, of peacetime wage and price controls.

I did not include Xlinton because my argument about the perfect plausibility of a slimeball such as Logan was intended to be non-partisan, and Sick Willy's (no typo) misadventures are still too recent in the public mind to fail to bring out partisan rancour. Didn't want to see the thread highjacked into politics.
