“If he didn’t attempt to cover up the Watergate break-in, they would have gotten him on something else.”
Correct answer—and Nixon was all mobbed up—the CIA could have cooked his goose in lots of ways.
The CIA thought they had all the bases covered for blackmail instead of destruction—McCord as part of the break-in team, Hunt as one of the team leaders, later Butterfield in the WH—but as Haldemann famously said—nobody could get the toothpaste back in the tube...
“ I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK and that he was the sole and only assassin.”
And on what authority are you to be the on one who declares it so?
There’s tons of evidence pointing to the contrary opinion. JFK’s skull being blown over the back of the Lincoln cinched it for me. The round that did that was fired from the grassy knoll. So much evidence to prove you’re opinion wrong.
The true purpose of the 9/11 commission was to, via the media telecasts of the commision’s hearings, put the blame for 9/11 on GWBush, when 99.99% of the actual intelligence errors were made by intelligence and National Security Council folks that in GWBushes first nine months had not been replaced.
Later GWBush would get further tested by the deep state over the Plame affair, at the end of which Bush pushed Scooter Libby under the bus to hopefully quiet the voices against him. It did not work.
“how did the CIA get the whole watergate thing to go down in the first place?”
I’m not sure what Tucker’s particular theory is, but it’s an established fact that most of the Watergate “burglars” were CIA assets.
Nixon wasn’t that popular.
McGovern scared people to death.
Johnson wasn’t popular either.
Goldwater scared people too.
And Nixon never said he had a secret plan to end the war.
Nine months was still plenty of time.
Try “Double Cross”....by Sam and Chuck Giancona (the godson and brother of Sam Giancona)...explains everything
“The CIA murdering JFK - what kind of stupid theory is that?”
Sure, totally crazy. Former Russian defectors who loudly espoused pro-Communist views in the early 60s were regularly allowed to work at companies with contracts do to classified work. Doesn’t stink at all.

And wouldn’t Nixon have said “Jack” or “Kennedy”? If he was being familiar enough to call Kennedy by his first name, I would think Jack would have been the first choice.
Conspiracy theories are silly fun. But I imagine when the power players actually stage an event, it won’t be obvious to keyboard warriors with an internet hook up, and anyone in the know who blabbed wouldn’t be allowed to resign, they’d have a sudden heart attack or conveniently fall out a high window.
If you can figure out a conspiracy just by “research” online, then it’s probably nonsense. If you’re right, then why would “they” let you continue talking about it?
“So why is he in tin foil hat territory?”
Tucker was talking about this kind of thing even before he left Fox.
“Everybody knows GHWB killed JFK”
Ummm, GHWB was CIA, so it’s the same thing.
How could you have seen the evidence when the CIA (via Pompeo to Trump) insists on keeping it secret? They're trying to protect the institution, because it is rotten.
“Then Agnew was replaced with Gerald Ford, not a threat to them.”
Gerald Ford, who had already participated in the Warren Commission cover up. In other words, a known reliable pawn who wouldn’t betray them, because if he did, he’d take himself down along with them.
“Nine months was still plenty of time.”
No it wasn’t. You have no idea of the number of appointments and new hires that have to reviewed, vetted, chosen, approved and accepted with any new administration. Any new adminstration starts with what they think is working the worst, and until 9/11 it was not openly clear and accepted just how bad the innteligence against Al Queda was. Part of it was intelligence errors and part of it was insufficient sharing of intelligence between agencies. By whom? Almost entirely by federal employees that remained in service, and that mostly because prior admins had not determined their ineffectiveness. While 9/11 was a wake up call, it took years to make our intelligence operations so inneffective, not nine months.
Tidbit on Gerald Ford:
J. Edgar Hoover had a file on Ford—apparently Gerald like to enjoy the company of prostitutes at the “Kit Kat Club”—and the FBI had the pictures (maybe even video) to prove it.
Ford was totally owned—and in fact there is his actual handwriting in recently released Warren Commission documents where he changed the location of the “magic bullet”.
This is particularly amusing since Ford was not brightest bulb and wouldn’t understand forensics if it ran him over...
I think it's time to start talking about the coup of '73, among other things, like the murder of Kennedy by the deep state.
We haven't had a legitimate government in this country since before I was born.
Are you one of the few true believers of the single bullet theory left?
