Nixon was indicted by his own words. It has nothing to do with leftists or eductaion or anything else except for your refusal to accept facts.

I'll change my name to prissy if you change yours to shill.

I see.

Never mind that a wartime sitting president was thrown out of office by a hostile (and pro-enemy) press, opposition party, and "antiwar" movement (that was by the way, in continuous contact with Hanoi throughout the war).

Never mind that the methods used to get him out of office were slimy, underhanded, and unethical and would cause these tactics to become the standard now for all of our political culture, from that time forward.

Never mind that Nixon was the one guy to defuse the Cold War and get the policies of American adminstrations to stop with the provocative acts (like JFK's campaign of assassinations).

Never mind that JFK and LBJ were far more venal, far more corrupt - but had the advantage of a sympathetic, even fawning press to cover things up for them.

Yup, No matter what the damage was to our country and our future, we should have always have gone after Nixon.

Perspective, please.
