Virgil: Richard Nixon’s Lessons on Beating Impeachment

Virgil has channeled the thinking of Richard Nixon, as he watches the latest impeachment hearings.

Yes, I died in 1994, but I still keep up with the news—especially, of course, news about impeachment.

In 1974, after I was railroaded out of the White House by partisan Democrats, hypocritical liberals, and self-righteous reporters, I made a vow: Never again let that sort of railroading happen to a Republican president. That is, I would share lessons learned about protecting the presidency, always—whether I was in this world, or the next.

Happily, my advice has been working, both for Ronald Reagan and, now, Donald Trump.

These thoughts came to mind yet again on December 3, when I read a boo-hoo column in the Philadelphia Inquirer, by liberal journo Will Bunch. In his piece, Bunch complained that the Iran-Contra “scandal” of 1986–87, during Reagan’s second term, did not turn out the same way as Watergate—that is, the Republican president getting run out. And Bunch’s further lament was that now, “Ukraine-gate” is shaping up to be less like Watergate and more like Iran-Contra. That is, the Republican president survives the attack—and flourishes.

Interesting about Buchanan’s role. But I thought it was Safire who wrote Agnew’s phrases.

Democrats have only Tricky Dick to kick around. Unfortunately for them, Trump is no Nixon.

He fights back - and we can’t spare him.

Richard Nixon’s lessons on beating impeachment? Is that something like Hitler’s lessons on successfully conquering Russia? Maybe for the first time in my life Bill Clinton might actually be able to give a better lesson than a Republican on an issue...

Richard Nixon lesson?
Take all the Oval Office tapes out on the Presidential Yacht and shovel them over the side into the Potomac River.
