“Nixon was the kind of guy who could be persuaded by the argument “for the good of the country...”
Right before the gap in the Watergate tapes, Nixon says something like “This could bring up the whole Cuban thing.”
Nixon used Cubans from the Bay of Pigs fiasco to do his dirty tricks stuff, and some were caught in the Watergate. I’ve wondered if that is a reference to their possible involvement in JFK’s assassination when they were probably being run by the CIA?
Nixon tried to keep the “Pentagon Papers” from being leaked. Even though that report was about Johnson’s terrible running of the war, Nixon, for the good of the country, wanted them to remain classified.
Ok.
You are insane.
