The tapes in Watergate showed Nixon knew nothing about the break-in, but did know after the fact and participated in supporting the minor functionaries who had been involved. It was the cover-up that brought him down, not "Lets blow the safe, lets break in." found on a tape. More damning than anything were the eighteen minutes of silence which implied evidence tampering to cover-up a guilty participation. This "lets break-in" quote is entirely bogus and was never found on the tapes. The Watergate Burglars entered the DNC offices to plant bugs, electronic listening devices, not to blow a safe and pilfer.

Just like the FBI under Obama, on a false pretext they knew was literally manufactured by the Hillary campaign.

actually...a year before the Watergate break in, Nixon was furious about the Pentagon Papers leaks and he was convinced that other classified docs relating to Vietnam and other foriegn policy docs were being kept at the Brookings Institute, the left wing think tank. In a June 1971 tape. he ranted that he wanted Brookings fire bombed and the safes there to be cleaned out...his aides said he was just venting and not serious..but the media ate it up.
