Would Nixon had gotten away with it today?

I disagreed with several things Nixon did re Watergate (including Watergate itself) but he did the right thing by resigning. This was ethical.

I don't know about now, but if he had told the truth when Watergate happened John Q. Public would have looked upon the whole thing as "politics as usual", shrugged it off, and Nixon would have gone down in history as a good president.

WHEN ---- the Committee to Re-Elect the President, told him they did the break-in at the Watergate,,, Nixon should have said "Sounds like some of you are going to jail", And held to the law,,, Instead he said "Stonewall this",--- That's when he broke the law



CARTER was an embarrassment BUT not as bad as Biden

It wasn't class that convinced Nixon to resign. It was to avoid the embarrassment of being the first president to be removed from office. Impeachment was inevitable, and he knew he was so toxic that enough GOP senators would have to distance themselves from him and vote for conviction. Not only does he avoid that embarrassment, but with his hand-picked successor in place, he could get pardoned from any criminal charges.

Lol

Of course he would have. Today's hyper partisan media would be arguing they they were sorry and being sorry should be what what 'really mattered' after all and we needed to let bygones be bygones.

The media back then was concerned that the president lied about knowing about a break-in in the first place and there was evidence of the lie.

This! Modern demonrats do more evil than Nixon even before breakfast.
