The late, great freeper Kenny Bunk was a pal of Liddy’s. A shame he’s not still here to regale us with some stories.

I often listened to G-Man’s radio program and loved it when he interviewed “C.I.” - the Ft Marcy witness re: Vince Foster’s murder.
Liddy was indeed a most extraordinary man...and patriot.

Nixon resigned in disgrace. Perhaps there was some truth in the Washington Post reporting. Watergate was absolutely nothing compared to the least of crimes that the Clintons are connected with. The difference is he had #NeverNixon types in the Senate not unlike the #NeverTrump hacks we have in the Senate today, that hated him, and they will do the same thing to Trump if we let them.
Woodward had a special talent that let him interview imaginary witnesses, even one in a complete coma.

Its funny how the same posters who, I imagine, wouldnt hear a word against Mitt Romney in 12 will similarly defend this GOP candidate regardless of his missteps.
Yeah, funny things happen when 50 Americans are laying dead in the street. There will be a lot more dead Americans should deluded Cruzers and never Trumpers enable the election of the Butcher of Benghazi. Of course they care not one whit about murdered Americans as long as Saint Rafael of Goldman can run again in 2020.

Woodward never was very bright. Listen to him talk. He sounds sedated.
To: marstegreg; Williams
I cant believe the Trump Campaign hasnt pointed out how Obama went after all the press he didnt like. Maybe someone should remind people how Obama treated press he didnt like. Its hard to argue facts.
Exactly. Nixon never locked press in closets as Dems did a few years ago. That Woodward doesn’t take umbrage at that shows he is nothing more than a propagandist.

Obama did things that the Dems wanted to impeach Nixon for only thinking about, like using the IRS to persecute his political enemies.
Bob Woodward has kept his big mouth shut for eight years.
He can go to blazes.
He was overrated 42 years ago, and has skated on liberal laurels since.

He’s going to ban news reporters after he’s President too.
These dishonest hacks can’t help themselves, they are going to lie about what he says then too.
Now THAT hitting the fan is going to be fun to watch.

Permit me as an old Aide de Camp to add that Watergate was in fact not much of a story. What happened was the DNC was running a call girl ring out of that little property and a few Nixon aides including GGL wanted to check into it. There was no question of "tapping" lines at that point; it was only a plainly botched break-in. Liddy got 25 years (most commuted) and the Post boys were made heroes. Who, exactly, was Kenny? Well - that is another story. For the meantime however note "Nixon's crimes" were never anywhere near Hillary's. Hundreds of millions in Chinese cash? US Military missile guidance secrets released? Tens of thousands of emails "unclassified" by virtue of royal decree? This - compared to a few Nixon guys who wanted to help win an election by exposing a small-time DNC prostitution ring? And what did America get?

Forget Watergate, give us a Kenny story. You must have a hundred of them.

But Nixon, as President, DID refuse to hold press conferences for months and months on end. What he was not smart enough to do was destroy the tapes.
