I imagine it would be difficult to find a President before Nixon who didn’t get away with the same or worse.

The public has been lied to for 40 years. They believe that Nixon’s own habit of taping set him up for prosecution. It was JFK who installed the taping system and LBJ who expanded it. Their tapes come out in drips and drabbles.

The public at large doesn’t even know about them.

“I imagine it would be difficult to find a President before Nixon who didn’t get away with the same or worse.”

Why specify “before”? Clinton got away with the exact same thing. Actually, Clinton’s was probably worse, because Nixon covered up for someone else’s misdeeds, deeds which barely even had a victim, whereas Clinton covered up for himself.
