While I agree that in today's news cycle Watergate would only be in the news for 12 hours, not sure I agree that it was no big deal and that Nixon was taken down by the deep state. But what do I know?

Nixon's crime was like a case of j-walking compared to what they do spy on Trump.

Nixon started his career as a based anti communist in congress but his presidency was fairly statist.

Wage and price controls, EPA nonsense

Watergate was a set up to remove Nixon.

The guys involved had plenty of ties to intelligence.

With what we know of mockingbird now it wouldn't surprise me.

Obama did at least three things that were easily worse than Watergate. Spygate was actually Watergate on steroids, and the IRS and Fast and Furious scandals were both grounds for summary impeachment.

Understand impeachment has been devalued of shame due to the bs charges against trump

Nixon was histotically minded, and did not want to be remembered for being impeached.

he should have just ridden it out and gone to trial, Senate would never have gotten 2/3 for conviction

The real reason he stepped down was prob some dirt they had on him. He probably sucked cock on the side.

Never forget our government tried to get MLK to kill himself.

Barry Goldwater counted the votes and told him on August 7, 1974 that he was going to be removed. He resigned the next day.

I've read that and have my doubts if enough GOP would agree to do it on the record, for keeps

MLK didn't need to be convinced to kill himself. Everyone knew what would end up happening to him by the company he kept. He may very well be the biggest example of a useful idiot the left has ever created

Massively overhyped by the self motivated press, deep state & Hollywood.

Nixon had just won by a landslip and very popular. I had some people at different times that were around at the time, said if he just came out in the beginning and confessed and did an apology it would have been a nothing burger. Instead he tried to cover it up and sweep it under the rug. And then it festered.

I still think the CIA had something to do about it.
