It's in G. Gordon Liddy's book. An excellent read.

I remember reading that Nixon came out and said he knew he killed JFK, shortly afterwards, the so-called Watergate incident came about.

Also, Nixon used private security afterwards, he did not trust the Secret Service to protect him.

It wasn’t the Watergate break in that got Nixon, … it was the poorly crafted cover up

It wasn't the break-in that got Nixon. It was the cover-up.

His admin should have just admitted to it and fired the participants.

Instead, they kept digging the hole deeper and deeper.

So a Campaign Staffer decides to break in to a building to take some opo research. THAT STUFF HAD BEEN GOIG ON FOR 200 YEARS, LOL.

All kind of crazy shenanigans far worse had happened in our history, pssttt, the liberal media used a 2nd hand burglary the exact same way they used Russia, Russia, Russia for 5 years, and the BS 2020 overthrowing of the Gov. when in reality they were in on the 2020 stolen election. The Dems are propped up by the lying media.

So, Obama SPIED ON THE Trump campaign using the FBI/CIA etc. in the 2016 election, the only reason they got caught and we know is Trump defeated Clinton, they did not think he had a chance, so the were not prepared to steal it. Then they spent four years gaslighting America with CIA and FBI lies and disinformation, the media now know this and refuse to drum the Dems out of town for this spying on Trump.

To boot, there is no doubt in my mind the shady homosexual, Obama, also stole the 2012 election vs. Romney, remember, he won by like 88k votes in 4 or 5 states, no doubt he not only stole it, but I bet the FBI/CIA was spying on Romney also.

Talking about suckers, everyone who blames Bush fob lying about WMDs should step back and think, who runs Washington DC? Its really the CIA & FBI along with the Deep State Senate. The CIA can put out BS like that knowing they can then just blame the President, which gives them more power, so after that they can get a junior KNOW NOTHING Black Liberal elected, a person they can easily control. The then got Trump and had to go into hyperdrive Nixon mode, but it didn't work in full so they had to steal 2020 and insert a guy who played in the movie Weekend at Bernie's, so for 4 years the Deep State ran DC in full. But IMHO, God allowed it so Trump would have 4 years of planning how to break their hold on America. ME THINKS these investigation in Miami will put forth info whereas America will have no choice but top come to the conclusion that the CIA/FBI & Dems tried to overthrow out Gov. for real.

Thank you Auburn1968 and I appreciate the others who back your statement.

It always stunned me how Bob Woodward, every time russia-gate was discussed, he would respond with 'worse than Watergate'.

Now I've heard him say it so often, it's lost it's meaning. I'm pretty certain when asked about his Wendy's lunch in the past 5 years, this was his response.

According to one "lawyer" here, Obama and the Deep State didn't "spy" on Trump.

They simply "monitored" him.

Nixon was his own worst enemy. He also wasn’t the boogeyman the left makes him out to be. What he did was child’s play compared to what goes on now.

They definitely used Watergate to take Nixon out. The corrupt, bought-and-paid-for corporate media HATED Nixon.

What I know about Nixon, I don't consider him to have been in the same league with JFK or Trump regarding the fight against the corrupt Political Establishment. But, there were elements of the Deep State that definitely opposed Nixon.

The dems havent changed much but have changed for the worse.

Presidential elections were held in the United States on November 7, 1972. Incumbent Republican President Richard Nixon and his running mate, incumbent Vice President Spiro Agnew, were re-elected to a second term in a landslide. They defeated the Democratic ticket of Senator George McGovern and former ambassador to France Sargent Shriver. With 60.7% of the popular vote, Nixon won the largest share of the popular vote for the Republican Party in any presidential election.

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

Nixon was JD Vance before JD Vance. He had no firm political beliefs, just a careerist who did whatever was cool politically at the time.

they finally let it be known that deepthroat was actually mark felt. he was the asst director of the fbi and was passed over by nixon to take j edgar hoovers place. i think he was bitter towards nixon for this. they made a movie about felt and portrayed him as a sympathetic figure but he was deep state all the way. movie is free on youtube. pretty good movie.

The deep state didn’t like the fact that Nixon was winning Vietnam and the Cold Wars with diplomacy and detente, so he had to go, just like Kennedy.

In the 70's if you were a Republican President and Barry Goldwater tells you that there are enough votes to impeach, you tended to take what he said into serious consideration.

Nixon however gets a bad rap from modern historians. His problems were largely inherited like Vietnam....even the inflation.

I know a lot about this era.

The ONLY difference between the JFK assassination and the Nixon "assassination" was that Nixon was allowed to walk away with his life.

Nixon had plans to take the chopping block to the bureaucracy in his second term.

The system could not have that.

The three most populous presidents in the past 50 years were taken out of office(or attempted assassinated) by the deep state. Nixon, Reagan, and Trump. All Republicans
