OP, I was alive at the time and watched it going down.

Nixon got totally railroaded.

Other world leaders at the time thought the same thing. They considered Watergate a relatively minor issue and laughed at the media storm that developed over it.

But the liberals and their associates in the media HATED Nixon, going back to the Whitaker Chambers/Alger Hiss matter.

Nixon was an extremely capable guy, more so than most of those that succeeded him.

Plenty of republicans were willing to kick in and remove Nixon.

ARTICLE II, SECTION 3

Nixon, although it didn't come out for a while, actually ordered the Watergate break-in. If you think that is not a big deal don't ever ask me to loan you fifty cents.
