Don't see much difference, except one wears glasses.
The only reason anyone was really paying attention to him was because his wife was hot.

Forensic investigators have been called in to solve one of the greatest mysteries of US presidential history by discovering what exactly Richard Nixon knew about the Watergate break-in.
Thirty-five years after Nixon was forced to become the only US president to resign, government investigators remain determined to find out the extent of knowledge of the raid on the Democratic National Committee's offices in Washington.
Investigators appointed by the US National Archives are to analyse notes taken by the White House chief of staff HR Haldeman at a meeting with the late president just three days after Nixon campaign members were arrested for breaking into the Watergate building.
Their mission is to find out what Nixon and Haldeman discussed during the 18 ½ minutes missing from tape recordings of the meeting and also from the aide's large yellow note book.
Experts have given up trying to unlock the mystery from the erased tape. The new search will instead scour Haldeman's notes for incriminating clues.
Investigators will use electrostatic detection analysis, which is capable of detecting and highlighting indented images, such as those left on a sheet of paper when a pen has written on a sheet above it. This might show evidence that certain pages were destroyed and even point to words so far lost to history.
Techniques known as hyperspectral imaging and video spectral comparison also will be used to study the ink and look for hidden clues to missing material.
The prospect of confirming that a gap exists in the notes, corresponding with the gap in the recording, has Nixon historians on tenterhooks.
"My best scholarly guess is that Nixon asked Haldeman if anyone in the White House had advance knowledge of the Watergate break-in," said Luke Nichter, a Texas A&M University assistant history professor.

Yet the Clintons steal 900 FBI files in order to blackmail other politicians and the MSM doesn’t raise a brow.
“What did the President know, and when did he know it?” - Howard Baker
I still look at Watergate and the cover up as no big deal because I’m sure it’s been done in kind....1000 times before.
John Dean orchistrated the whole thing.
He lied to Nixon about the objective (after the fact) and lied to the “plumbers” regarding the authority.
The area surveiled and accessed contained records only Dean was interested in.
The DNC chair’s office that would have been the natural political target, was on the opposite side of the building, and never surveiled or accessed.
Nixon believed Dean’s story and made the mistake of covering for his guys, after the fact.
Stunning, isn’t it? Stolen FBI files, a suspicious suicide by a presidential adviser complete with sanitized office files, 84 Americans incinerated at Waco, a little boy sent back to a communist hellhole at the point of a gun, missile technology given/sold to the Chicoms, and, lest we forget, that small matter of the wall between the CIA and the FBI, but none of what the Clintons did holds any interest for the MSM. No, almost forty years later they’re still doing a circle jerk over Watergate because running Nixon out of office and forever tagging him as a crook is just not enough to satisfy their bloodlust for him.
Another opportunity for leftists to add to the lies and to reconstruct events in their docu-novel. Nixon had the guts to go after commies, unlike the current GOP.

It all goes back to the Pro-Dem Media....Again and again and still....
Yet the Democratic Clintons' activities get a pass. Even though the Clintons are still very active in current politics.
I'm more interested in the motivation(s) behind the investigation than I am in the investigation itself. obama and his cohorts in crime have a fairly limited playbook, and distraction would seem to be one of their staples...
And I’m convinced RN did NOT know about the break-in until John Dean told him . . . then he obstructed justice, just like Clinton, and covered it up, and should have been removed. I think “Silent Coup” and Liddy’s interpretation of this are correct.
(shush) You'll blow someone's Grant Money.

That’s right. And Sandy Burglar’s stuffing documents in his pants is no big deal either.
Funny, I was just thinking about that incident yesterday, for some reason, and I asked myself once again why in the heck they would have documents around and no duplicates made of them and stored in another location. Something is just not right with that story.

Go ahead with the explanation of why John Dean was the originator of the investigation...........I will listen with great interest.
Very well stated.
“...because his wife was hot”
THOSE are the records Dean was having retrieved!
