How exactly did Nixon use his powers to cover up?
he didnt. All these “horror stories” the media fed everybody NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED. And some things he was totally in his right as President to do so, based on National Security. The democrats even came up with a totally invented thing called ‘ABUSE OF POWER”. Theres no such crime or statute or anything called “abuse of power”. Heck, anything any President ever did that the other side didnt like, they could just scream “ABUSE OF POWER”. It was just absurd.
