“No one will ever believe that both your hard drive and mine crashed within a week of each other.”
And to think that some careless use of tape at the Watergate Hotel ultimately brought down Nixon.
Your knowledge of history is flawed: there were no “tapes at the Watergate hotel”. The issue was an 18 minute gap in the White House taping system that was believed to be a discussion of a coverup concerning the Watergate breakin.
No one will ever believe that both your hard drive and mine crashed within a week of each other.
Next step is to subpoena the person that was emailed to, and all of their emails!
What brought down Nixon was an 18-month long PR campaign, designed by Mike Mansfield and Carl Albert and executed by Sam Ervin and Peter Rodino, along with the GOP's willingness to go along.
There is nothing, I believe, that could induce 13 sitting Democrat Senators (more, actually, because not all Republicans would go along) to vote to remove "Obama".
It wasn’t the tape that brought down Nixon. It was the old media. Watergate was a media coup.
Roosevelt, Wilson, Kennedy, Johnson.. they all did much worse, the media new about it and covered for them.
The media hated Nixon, and they hounded him out of office.
