re: Nixon resigned over nothing burger...

Actually, it has now been proven, with the discovery of HR Haldeman's notes, that Nixon committed a treasonous act prior to getting elected in 1968. What he did was far worse than collusion. He directed his aids to do what they could to scuttle the Viet Nam Peace talks that were ongoing during LBJ's last year in office.

During a phone call on the night of Oct. 22, 1968, Richard M. Nixon told his closest aide (and future chief of staff) H.R. Haldeman to "monkey wrench" President Lyndon B. Johnson's efforts to begin peace negotiations over the Vietnam War. Nixon long denied giving such an order, but Haldeman's notes, which were quietly made public in 2007 and were recently discovered by the historian Jack Farrell, prove he was lying.
