How would you have dealt with the Watergate Scandal if you were Nixon?
Not order it to be done in the first place. Assuming I'm that fricking stupid? Resign in disgrace and tell my lackey to pardon me.
Nixon didn’t order the breakin
ok boomer.
This tbh. Just don't establish the plumbers. Win easily in 1972 anyway because the Democrats radically misread the national mood.
nobody was caught on tape with anything to do with the watergate break in. There's not a single piece of evidence they ever found in their months of investigating that tied nixon to the watergate break in
>nobody was caught on tape and those 18 minutes were erased completely by accident
>Nixon DINDU NUFFIN HE WAS A GOOD BOY
still zero evidence, cope
you're a liar
If there was “no evidence” why did he resign? Should have been easy to prove his innocence
would you want to be the president and be forced to sit in televised trials for months answering what color your shit was for the past 5 years
okay meds now
Holy cope
If there was “no evidence” there wouldn’t be a trial. So why did he resign?
>why did he resign?
would you want to be the president and be forced to sit in televised trials for months answering what color your shit was for the past 5 years
I can see your nose from here LBJgay-obsessed schizo spammer
meds
Why did Nixon resign?
would you want to be the president and be forced to sit in televised trials for months answering what color your shit was for the past 5 years
>if nixon didn't want to get publicly roasted by his political adversaries until his term was over that means he was guilty of what they were accusing him of
have a nice day
meds
have a nice day
meds now
have a nice day now
meds
So you admit there was evidence with which they could have kept him in court?
lbjgay, I knew you'd come
>no evidence
there was never a trial moron.
Nixon was on trial? No, you're lying again
>can't find any evidence if i resign before a trial!
So you admit they never found anything linking nixon to the watergate break-in and forced him to resign?
least schizophrenic nixon supporter
Go ahead and post this evidence at any time
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_White_House_tapes#%22Smoking_Gun%22_tape
The White House released the subpoenaed tapes on August 5. One tape, later known as the "Smoking Gun" tape, documented the initial stages of the Watergate coverup. On it, Nixon and H. R. Haldeman are heard formulating a plan to block investigations by having the CIA falsely claim to the FBI that national security was involved. This demonstrated both that Nixon had been told of the White House connection to the Watergate burglaries soon after they took place, and that he had approved plans to thwart the investigation. In a statement accompanying the release of the tape, Nixon accepted blame for misleading the country about when he had been told of White House involvement, stating that he had a lapse of memory.[39][40]
>Once the "Smoking Gun" transcript was made public, Nixon's political support practically vanished. The ten Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee who had voted against impeachment in committee announced that they would now vote for impeachment once the matter reached the House floor.
>He lacked substantial support in the Senate as well; Barry Goldwater and Hugh Scott estimated that no more than 15 senators were willing to even consider acquittal. Facing certain impeachment in the House of Representatives and equally certain conviction in the Senate, Nixon announced his resignation on the evening of Thursday, August 8, 1974, effective as of noon the next day.[41]
Now watch the schizo sperg out because evidence is a conspiracy.
So yes, he had no knowledge or part in the planning of the break-in beforehand and only tried to cover it up after the fact when he panicked.
>lie the entire thread
>NO WAIT I'M NOT A LIAR HERE'S THE TRUTH
actually pathetic
meds
cope moron, you're a lying homosexual and it took me 5 times or so calling you a liar to post the truth
you're the one that should be medicated
yeah okay schizo
I accept your concession you nixon obsessed lying homosexual
lol the schizo is mad now
You still haven’t posted any proof Nixon was involved in planning Watergate
meds
>DINDU
He resigned because the tapes revealed he knew about the breakin after the fact and panicked and paid Hunt the bribe he was demanding to keep quiet
did they ever prove there was bribery? I'm pretty sure they didn't
Dunno but they proved he knew about the break-in well before having said he had no knowledge and that’s what got him
Pretty sure that's not what "got him", all you do is lie. Is there a single post of yours in this thread where you weren't purposefully lying?
What did get him then?
trying to cover up the break-in
missing the point. nobody denies that Nixon tried to cover up the Watergate break-in. the debate is about whether he was responsible for the break-in in the first place. and to this date, there's no evidence for that assertion
okay moron
>the debate is about whether he was responsible for the break-in in the first place.
you have never been, and never will be, in charge of anything important.
i would've told the truth to the american people
REMINDER - Nixon showed up to court to defend “Deepthroat” aka Mark Felt
>He testified that in authorizing the Bureau to conduct break-ins to gather foreign intelligence information "he was acting on precedents established by a number of Presidential directives dating to 1939."
>It was Nixon's first courtroom appearance since before Watergate, as he had avoided appearing in any legal proceedings during it and had been pardoned by President Gerald Ford after his resignation.
>Nixon also contributed money to Felt's defense fund, since Felt's legal expenses were running over $600,000 by then.
throw everyone involved under the bus, deny knowledge, carefully develop good cases on every point, memorize them and stick to them, defend myself in court, never confess or apologize, refuse to resign
I would nuke belgium
Imagine thinking that Richard M. Nixon wasn't aware of the concept of plausible deniability. Just imagine. How low does your IQ need to be?
He was aware of plausible deniability when he ordered them to undertake the operation, but he forgot plausible deniability when he was recorded on tape authorizing the cover-up?
>impeach him over obstruction
For what? You're getting closer to the answer. Keep digging anon.
>nixon peace'd out and told them to frick themselves
no, he secured a pardon from his lackey VP. he ran away like a b***h.
>no he didn't leave h-he was guilty so he fled!
source?
Didn't say he was guilty. Your response is very telling though.
In lieu of a cover up, cut ties with the accused immediately and outwardly support any ensuing investigation. Communicate to any necessary party through back channels that they will be taken care of for standing tall.
Kill them
>only president to resign in complete and utter disgrace
“He peac’d out lol just like my hero Drumpf”
It’s pretty clear you’re moronic, no?
>it's not propaganda to obsessively write about new "breakthroughs" and hot takes about events that we haven't learned anything new about in 40 years
uh... huh...
>that we haven't learned anything new about in 40 years
Jokes on you, moron. If you actually knew anything about Nixon you would know he kept his all of his papers after Watergate and then under lock & key after his death. Only in the last decade or so have historians been able to access them and only recently have his White House tapes been fully transcribed up to ‘73
And?
Kys
wow there must have not been much discovered since the events happened if your summary of them is "kys"
What’s it like shitposting all day, every day? When was the last time you emptied your piss jugs, anon?
if you're going to come into a thread and claim you have empirical evidence of something and then have a mental breakdown when asked to post it maybe you shouldn't post here
>have a mental breakdown
You’re too easy to spot, LBJgay schizo poster.
Is shit-spamming your “home board” all you know how to do?
obsessed, post the information or get the frick off
What information? Nixon’s obvious part in the ordering and subsequent cover-up of the Watergate break-in? Which you will then deny and screech about Drumpf some more? No thanks
As you always say, “nobody here can stand you”
I wouldn't say a single word to the public; I would listen to what Kissinger had to say, and that's what no one did
You’re so pathetic lmao
How many internet arguments have you won today?
post your boomer conspiracy books about nixon
Is “Chasing Shadows” by one of the leading Nixon experts at the Miller Center, an affiliate of the University of Virginia, an Ivy League university, a “boomer conspiracy book” to you, anon?
>His “Chasing Shadows,” the best account yet of Nixon’s devious interference with Lyndon Johnson’s 1968 Vietnam War negotiations, shows just how early Nixon’s dirty tricks began and just how deeply he was involved.
kek
>Ken Hughes
LOL
is this where you get all your conspiracy theories about nixon somehow being responsible for Vietnam
I would have assassinated the leadership of the Democratic Party, seized control of all branches of government and declared myself President for Life.
Go Pinochet Mode (jk)
Lmao he shoulda went with this look. Gonna watch a super good doc with Daniel schorr about water gate now it's on you tube.
Say "Black person", claim the holocaust is a hoax, scream "heil Hitler", and then blow my brains out, all on live national television. I would also deny being a crook in that same speech
