Nixon's major crime was loyalty to his friends.
As a result, he helped to cover up an investigation into wrongdoing.
He was threatened with impeachment by Democrats, who had an overwhelming majority, after much hounding by the Old Media - who were representing the communists who were still looking for an opportunity to avenge Nixon's bringing down Alger Hiss (as well as McCarthy's demeaning their Hollywood idols). Representatives of Nixon's party, Republicans, took a walk from the Capitol to the WH to ask in a private conversation that he resign.
Nixon further showed his loyalty to his friends and his country by resigning, instead of forcing the party and country to split in a raucous trial over this, though he never believed his actions were wrong. In fact he believed that the state of war gave the executive branch the right to do what his subordinates did, though he never specifically authorized their ill-fated actions, and cited WW2 precedents.
An unbiased history of Watergate would include this, and you won't get that from most history books or the Old Media FRAUDcasters.
In addition, you probably will find it hard to locate the information that the US Atty Gen was well into an (grand jury?) investigation of the break-in before WP and MF "broke" the story in the media. MF ought to have gone to him and the judge with information he had, rather than doing what he did for his own aggrandizement.
Felt's illegal leaking of FBI files was due to avarice, not nobility.
Excellent summary and the options that Felt had instead of what he did.
That was the House Committee on Un-American Activities. McCarthy, a senator, had nothing to do with it.
This was a fallacy. Tailgunner Joe's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations only pervue was communist infiltration of the federal government. The hollywood thing was HUAC.
Amen to all that!
Now that's something that needs to be plastered all over creation.
