Given the current political climate and my sense of optimism, impeachment and ex-presidential indictment have been on my mind. Of course, the Nixon example comes to mind, being the only true precedent we have. I am curious to what are people's thoughts on Ford's pardoning of Nixon. The...

Hello all. I have been interested in the Watergate Affair for some time now and just recently I noticed a rather good Podcast about this very subject on the Slate website...

I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this already (if there is, I can't find it) http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc-news/watch/new-details-come-to-light-in-watergate-scandal-970735683642 Just goes to show what a bunch of criminals the Republicans really were under Tricky Dicky, and how much they...

Nixon was impeached...A political act. Did Nixon actually break the law? These were part of a different thread (President Trump: Part II), so I moved them here.

Who first stated discussing the "law and order" issue in 1968, Nixon or Wallace? This article indicates it was first Wallace and later the issue was stolen by Tricky Dick. http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=BwQqAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FSgEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7285,4234559&dq=law-and-order+nixon+wallace&hl=en

They share a byline for the first time in decades... Interesting statement. Then, they back it up. If the truth be told, Nixon's worst enemy was Richard Nixon himself. And while there were others who have done far worse in political office, particularly in an increasingly powerful...

Now that's a coincidence, isn't it? ... The "Ailes files" itself : http://gawkernet.com/ailesfiles/ailesfiles.html

a counterfactual moment here. Let's assume Richard Nixon's "plumbers" manage to slip past the security at the Watergate Hotel and are thus never caught. How does that change American politics and the world? Note to mods: If this isn't appropriate for this subforum, then move it at your...

No, not the actual audio. Haldeman was also taking meticulous notes during the famous 18.5 minute gap on the tape where Nixon was discussing the Watergate break-in. Someone noticed that the notes are also missing that period of time, and they are using some new technology to perhaps discover the...

Here's a new one on me, from the dungeon at Democratic Underground. And they're off and running. It isn't until about the 50th post down that somebody notices that later on the OP changed the date as to when John Dean said this: Well, there's a pretty big difference between saying that in...

On the evening of August 8, 1974, the networks announced that they would carry a message from the President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon. According to the networks, the president was expected to announce his resignation from office. Three days earlier, Nixon released transcripts from...

Today, 9 August 2004, is the 30th anniversary of the resignation of Richard M. Nixon from the office of President of the United States. It is unfortunate that the historical reasons for the resignation have been clouded in the national consciousness. Few people know why Nixon got caught up in...

From a taped conversation between President Richard Nixon and H.R. Haldeman in 1972... Source Nixon calling someone else strange, for starters, is funny stuff.
