If memory serves me right, Nixon was not guilty of anything to do with the break-in. What he was guilty of is the cover up to protect some of his Administration. This hero whistle blower was a jacka@@ for not using the proper chain of command to report his information. This hero was a coward, for the mark of a coward is his hiding the fact that he gave information to a couple of jacka@@ reporters. The reporters were by far not, by any stretch of imagination, hero's also. They did not verify their information, but just ran with it. Bad reporting.
