I think it’s fair to say that I am a pretty extreme buff of the Nixon era also a lot of interest in the Kennedy assassination and related events.

I thoroughly enjoyed this segment and want to completely believe it. However, you have to recognize that Tucker left out a lot of historical context to these events.

The biggest one is the Vietnam war and the radicalization of the Democrat party in opposition to it and their hatred of Nixon their absolute hatred of Nixon which far exceeded any hatred of Trump.

Of course the democrats have always been corrupt opportunists but hatred of Nixon over the war was certainly their biggest weapon and their biggest motivating factor.

For example, eliminating Nixon allowed them to give the North Vietnamese all of South East Asia.

It’s possible that elements of the security establishment wanted us to lose the war at the time but I really doubt it.

It’s true that Gerald Ford headed up the Warren commission but they mainly wanted him because he was a plain vanilla boring guy who was not considered very intelligent. In fact a lot of people thought that Gerald Ford was a good insurance policy against some removing Nixon.

Let’s take one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle that Tucker presented. Spiro agno. Tucker glossed over this as a tax evasion charge brought against Agnew to remove him.

The fact is that agnu pleaded no contest because he was caught red hand and taking bribes from when he was a governor and those bribes were continuing to be delivered to him as vice president.

So I enjoyed Tucker’s presentation. I believe that the removal of Nixon was one of the worst things that ever happened to this country.At the time people thought any president who committed a crime should resign and Nixon definitely committed a crime.

In retrospect we saw that criminal Democrat presidents such as Clinton did not resign and the democrats supported Clinton.So the republicans refused to save Nixon at great cost to our country but the democrats refused to uphold the rule of law against Clinton and others since.

While I sympathize with everything Tucker was saying he was not giving the complete context or the complete story. Nixon didn’t just get removed out of the blue because the CIA decided to remove him from office. They may have helped they may have even been a bit behind it but this was accomplished by the radical Democrat party and the radicals in the Democrat media which at that time was the entire media.

Was Bob Woodward a CIA plant sent to the Washington Post to get Nixon? Maybe.

But there really was not a good explanation of why the security establishment would want to get Nixon. Simply saying that he told someone he knew do who was behind the assassination of John Kennedy is hardly enough motivation for them to get Nixon thrown out of office.

Nixon was not an anti establishment candidate like Trump. The left hated him and they destroyed him but mistakes made by Nixon himself sealed his fate. He knew it and everyone else knows it.
