Wouldn't surprise me. Nixon is a choir boy compared to Brandon.

I’m surprised that any of them are still alive.

Hillary was fired by the Watergate team for cheating too blatantly.

Compared to Obama and Biden Nixon’s faults were the equivalent of an overdue library fine.

John Dean set up the Watergate break in. He got information about it from his prostitute wife. Dean mislead Nixon about the whole thing from the start.

I recommend the book:

The Real Watergate Scandal: Collusion, Conspiracy, and the Plot That Brought Nixon Down by Geoff Shepard

Nixon’s problems were trying to maintain power and blast away the dems. The current clown is into self enrichment as was Clintoon.

The way the media treated Trump and the spying on him told me that Watergate ‘outrage’ was simply a cover for a coup.

As it was, Nixon was a PATHETIC Republican, far worse than Trump, Reagan, and even worse than Bush Jr. The only Republican who comes close to Nixon was Bush Sr. So he still got what he deserved.

It’s a shame that Watergate overshadows his entire administration because Nixon was a decent president.

Nixon didn’t know anything about the break-in until after it made the news. Since he didn’t know about it, he ASS-U-ME-d his people didn’t do it.

The press always had had the long knives out for Nixon, so when they came at him HARD over the break-in his opening position was a blanket denial. Then when it became clear that Hunt, Liddy, et Al, were indeed guilty, he wouldn’t give the press the satisfaction of admitting that he had been mistaken. So he took a seriously bad decision and tried to orchestrate a cover-up.

And the demoncrats couldn’t tolerate that because they wanted to maintain their monopoly on the cover-ups. The rest is history.

I, for one, thought that the Congress should have been pinning medals on Nixon and all of his staff. They were, after all, trying to keep a known communist out of the White House.

Rosemary Woods said she was responsible for 6 minutes of 18.5 minutes of Nixon’s deleted recordings.

Who was in charge of these tapes when they were turned over?
Ive read that the tapes had nixon discussing corruption in arkansas but I dont know the truth about it

Nixon will go down as one of the worst Presidents, just for helping communist China with trade and growth.

In the battle between Nixon and Democrats, Nixon won.

While the Democrats ruined Nixon's political career, Nixon struck back brilliantly from near exile status.

Nixon, without political power as a civilian, opened Communist China and normalized relations and trade, ostensibly to rehabilitate his reputation as a statesman.

China did the rest over four decades, using long existing Democrat Corruption to take ownership of the Democrat Party and the Deep Swamp.

One has to wonder if Nixon did this on purpose, he had to know the Chinese Communist was as corrupt as humanly possible, and the American Left would sell their soul.
