I guess things haven’t really changed at the DOJ.

The audience became members of the Senate who, at the end of every performance, had to vote on whether Nixon was guilty...

Stolen from The Night of January 16th.

Not even including conspiring to murder his predecessor, what LBJ committed and got away with makes Watergate a major nothing.

An old story. The press lies, the GOP caves.

Agreed—once you dig deeper there is so much to be found.

I was never a fan of Nixon.

However, Watergate fascinated me because it was obvious that he was in a down and dirty fight with the Deep State over a variety of issues.

Imho some of those issues are still secret today.

The CIA had moles in CREEP and the White House.

I am convinced that is how the Deep State plays—up to this day.

The best analogy is the old Soviet Union. The KGB would have moles hidden throughout the government to make sure all officials were following orders and of course not stealing stuff.

Daniel Ellsberg tripped this off.
NSA had determined he was going to sell advanced nuclear weapon details to Russia.
At one time he worked for Sandra Labs in weapon design.
Considering he became a lefty activist, they were right to be concerned.
To this day, I feel the FBI setup Nixon using Ellsberg as the weapon.

Nixon’s greatest crime was defeating McGovern in an historic nationwide landslide. No one in the national media voted for him or knew anyone who did. Therefore he must of cheated and had to be removed.

Nixon’s other crime was going after communist friends of the media.
