"The guy showed that he is nonpartisan and is just interested in good, non-corrupt government."
And he proved it by breaking the law, from one of the highest offices in the land.
That is because he couldn't trust those that he would normally tell it to. If those who are above you are potentially involved then how do you get it investigated?
He actually saved the FBIs integrity in an odd way because his boss was getting pressure from the Nixon White House to not investigate and as head of the FBI he was actually destroying documents. So obviously he couldn't be trusted.
Just curious. What law did he break?
