President Nixon had a tape-recording system in his offices and he had recorded many conversations. Recordings from these tapes implicated the president, revealing he had attempted to cover up the questionable (and illegal) goings-on that had taken place during his administration, both before and after the break-in. After a protracted series of bitter court battles, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the president had to hand over the tapes to government investigators; he ultimately complied.
Facing near-certain impeachment in the House of Representatives and a strong possibility of a conviction in the Senate, Nixon resigned the presidency on August 9, 1974. His successor, Gerald Ford, then issued a pardon to him.
The difference from 1974 is that the press hounded Nixon out of office, whereas in 2013 CNN is complicit with the cover up and manipulation of the election.
The corporate-controlled leftist media are manning the ramparts and hauling in the heavy artillery. They will do everything in their power to defend their heroic commandant from the legions of attacking neo-cons. They will protect him against accusations that they themselves once leveled against George Bush, who as we recall, invaded Iraq based on a pack of lies about “weapons of mass destruction.”
(Unlike the outraged war-whooping neo-con hypocrites, libertarians of the Ron Paul persuasion are not startled by presidential lies that lead to the death of innocents. They’ve witnessed the lies before by previous administrations — Democrat and Republican.)
Nixon pissed off the wrong people.
Obama is not only an obedient puppet, in my opinion he is a completely manufactured manchurian candidate. I doubt he is going anywhere, it is all more theater of distraction.
