WASHINGTON _ The FBI was asked by top aides to President Richard Nixon to "discreetly" look into the background and personal associations of the young political aide, Mary Jo Kopechne, who drowned in 1969 when Edward M. Kennedy's car careened off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, newly released FBI documents show...

That’s it. Toss Nixon in, as if he left Mary Joe to die and didn’t report the accident until ten hours later.

Honest to God...

The only ‘dirt’ on Mary Jo Kopechne is the blanket of earth covering the grave that sack of sh!it Ted Kennedy sent her to far too early.

[Buchal]

The $64 question is why is the report of whether Mary Jo was in Greece in August, 1968 still top secret and “redacted”.

“Nixon sought dirt on Mary Jo Kopechne, files show”

Maybe he should have first considered the dirt and how it got there on her casket.

[nascarnation]

But they do depict how the Nixon administration sought to use the bureau to gather incriminating evidence about Kopechne in an effort to damage Kennedy's reputation and political fortunes.

Of course Hillary using the mysterious FBI files was totally different.......

Well that’s it for Nixon. Now the press won’t like him.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Hey who murdered Mary Jo Kopechne?

[Texas resident]

Nixon’s fault.

George Bush wasn’t available at the time.

[muawiyah]

It’s not exactly like it was a secret ~ except to the Leftwingtards.

[OldDeckHand]

What more possible "dirt" could one need that wasn't already readily available in the newspaper? Kennedy drowned a woman by his own negligence and waited WAY TOO LONG to report it to authorities.

I'm not sure how the FBI could help.

[marron]

Inquiring into what happened and what the relationships were isn’t “looking for dirt”. Its “cold case” investigations.

[pnh102]

I blame the voting majorities of people in Massachusetts that continued to send a murderer back to the Senate election after election.

[ConservativeMind]

And Clinton let a former bouncer who couldn’t get FBI clearance order, inspect, and copy the files on 850 Republicans and media personalities. He kept them for over a year before returning them.

I’d say Clinton was about the worst scum of a president outside of 0bama.

[NoExpectations]

Ok, I’m too curious. What are you referring to?

[Ann Archy]

Funny, but the FBI DIDN”T look into KENNEDY over the Mary Jo MURDER!!! OMG!!

[Krankor]

Mmmmmm. If you read the article, it was actually John Dean who sought dirt on Mary Jo. What proof is there Nixon knew anything about it? Out of everyone involved in Watergate, Dean was the biggest weasel.

[skeeter]

The hippy left is pathetic. They just can’t help trying to relive their salad days.

[Kirkwood]

Wonder if anyone for a second considered that Kennedy staged a murder to silence this young woman.

[SpaceBar]

For all his faults, Nixon knew the Kennedy family were slimebags.
