A following comment had no pertinence, hence my question “What’s your point?” It matters not why Nixon resigned. No reason changes the fact that he left voluntarily.

Your comment had no pertinence, either. You think that Nixon would have "voluntarily" resigned had he not been targeted. Point is, he was run out of office for lesser reasons, rightly or wrongly. Hence MY question, what's YOUR point?

“Your comment had no pertinence, either”

It was perfectly pertinent. The previous comment was either a lie, intentionally hyperbole, or a mistake. Such statements deserve to be corrected.

“You think that Nixon would have ‘voluntarily’ resigned had he not been targeted”

No, but that’s utterly irrelevant.

“Point is, he was run out of office for lesser reasons, rightly or wrongly.”

No he wasn’t.

“Hence MY question, what’s YOUR point?”

My point is it’s simply wrong to say Nixon was thrown out of office when everyone knows he resigned. Whether he would have been eventually thrown out is irrelevant. You don’t get to rewrite history based on probable would-have-beens.
