It's still good to hear both sides of the issue, even if it's hard to defend what Nixon's men were doing. The fact is that Congress could have dealt with the crisis without impeachment proceedings. Congress has full responsibility for Nixon's impeachment, beyond the (somewhat justifiable) mistakes made by his administration itself.

"Congress has full responsibility for Nixon's impeachment, beyond the (somewhat justifiable) mistakes made by his administration itself." Could you elaborate a little on the "justifiable" mistakes you mention?
Creating almost untraceable funds to finance break-ins by Liddy and Hunt?
Hiring an Attorney General ready, willing, and able to control such funds and authorize such acts?
Paying hush money to burglars to buy their silence?
Most people of Stein's intelligence should realize that Nixon's own lack of ethical standards created the Watergate situation. Felt was not responsible for Nixon's failures. Nixon was.
