and weaponized the EPA
Hmm, Nixon was a fervent anti-Communist, and the FBI was supposed to be in the counterintelligence business to resist communist subversion. But Nixon was destroyed by leaks to the media by Associate FBI Director Mark Felt. It’s almost as if the FBI puts power for the Democrat Party above duty and country, then and now.
>>The real secret is now out: Donald Trump was at fault for Watergate. Others were taken in and got caught. /s
Maybe now the Left will finally admit that YES the Watergate break-in was about a DC call girl ring.
The Democrats wanted to impeach Nixon in his first term long before Watergate and they wanted to impeach both Reagan and Trump before they were sworn in. The peaceful transition of power ended by 1960 when JFK stole the White House.
She got fired for what she was doing
Too bad G. Gordon Liddy is not available for his old radio show. 89 Years old and veteran of the FBI and Watergate.
Thank you. What a wondrously lovely place to docent. So many congratulations on having such a great job.
That man had my heart, and still does. I worked for him in the 1962 election while a senior in a Catholic girls school. EVERY other student was a fervent Chicago democrat but I've never wanted to follow the crowd.
Docenting is fun. I did it at the Oriental Institute at U of Chicago when I was taking my ancient art classes. Still have the gold roundel they made for the docents.
He was a hero of mine. I bought SO MANY copies of “Will” and gave them out to everyone I knew. I still have a shelf of books from that period.
On G. Gordon Liddy,
He knew about so many subjects. Every once in a while I will remember some advice or opinion of his. Wish he were still active.
In high school at the time and Mr. Gornbein, our government teacher had us memorize all Nixon appointments. William Ruckelhouse was head of EPA. I can remember cause I was mad about having to spell name!
I’ve always believed it was Nixon’s persistence and role in Hiss being taken down that made him the target the left and communists would never stop trying to destroy.
I have always admired Nixon.
I don’t care for everything he did. As another poster have pointed out, the EPA did spring to life under his watch.
I believe his overtures towards China to serve as a counterpoint to the Soviet Union are underrated for the time they took place in, and in their scope and strategic goals.
Say what you will about Richard Nixon-he loved his country. Far, far more than can be said for many of his opponents. The Left never forgave him for his role in the Alger Hiss prosecution.
And on top of that-his actions towards the North Vietnamese in December 1972 where we bombed Hanoi and Haiphong, and mined Haiphong Harbor during Operation Linebacker II, well, he punched back at the Communists and connected fully. His memory will always carry gratitude and respect.
He was more of a man than nearly any jackass of either party today, with some exceptions.
I agree completely. I think that is a large part of it.
If I am out there, I would love to drop in when it is open.
I’m still proud that my first vote at the age of 18 was for President Nixon.
ROGER STONE!
Many on FR still haven’t figured out that Nixon was a patriot and it was those that surrounded him that did the real damage.
Yeo. Nixon’s Hiss prosecution proved that Democrat governments really were riddled with active communist agents. I see this as an early attempt to take on the Deep State at a high level connected directly to Roosevelt (Yalta) and Truman (UN). The media and Left spent decades punishing Nixon for this and pretending Hiss was innocent.
The demonrats the lamestream media and the repugs all owe Richard Nixon an apology.
