It is most unusual to encounter anyone with something good to say about Richard Nixon, he was and still is the only elected US official to have positive input re the JFK assassination .. in 1970 he brought Justice Dept. lawyer John Dean into the White House to "clean up the mess" of the Watergate burglary, which he knew nothing of.

Dean's disloyalty toward Richard Nixon identified him as the most vile actor in the entire drama, he was to go thru the available evidence, identify the White House ppl responsible and recommend their sacking thence prosecution .. instead of doing that he hopped onto the play dumb bandwagon and left Nixon to stew in his own juices.

Had John Dean fulfilled his obligation to Richard Nixon, the entire JFK assassination conspiracy which Nixon called the " Bay of Pigs ," would inevitably have come tumbling down.

Insofar as lead Watergate burglar E Howard Hunt also took part in the assassination .. see the hatted figure in the Moorman Photograph firing on the President in company with Martin Luther & Coretta King, black Secret Serviceman Abraham Bolden and Andy Warhol.

Update - It seems very likely RN was "under the gun" of his Chief of Staff HR "Bob" Haldeman.

insofar as LuckyPuppy.net says Haldeman and Watergate conspirator G Gordon Liddy murdered Officer JD Tippit in Dallas at around 1:08 pm Nov. 22, 1963 in a crime that was blamed on Lee Harvey Oswald, despite photographs and film show LHO standing in the doorway of the TSBD when the shots were fired at President Kennedy at 12:30pm the same day, and that he was still in the doorway when the Three Tramps were marched by hours later.

Nixon wasn't any saint, but he didn't do anything the Democratic Party wasn't also doing, in spades. It's just that his misdeeds and political "tricks" got highlighted by the media, and the wrong-doings of the Democrats were ignored or covered up. Watergate was about looking for dirt on the Democrats that could be used against them in the election. Nixon's people weren't going to fabricate anything, they just wanted to find out what crimes the Democrats were committing. But they went about it in a criminal manner, and got caught, and then Nixon was betrayed by a man he trusted (a man who should burn in hell for eternity for his betrayal of trust).

Nixon was a victim of the deep state, even back then, just as JFK was. In fact, it was Nixon's interest in JFK's assassination that put a target on his back. In the White House transcripts, he mentions "the whole Bay of Pigs thing" a few times, which may believe was code for Kennedy's assassination. He was screwed out of the 1960 election by massive vote fraud in Texas and Illinois and was deeply upset with the assassination, thinking it was a coup d'etat, and sought evidence of it.

There's much more, but you'd have to read Roger Stone's book on the subject. Stone knew Nixon better than anyone, and I think he has the final word on both JFK and Watergate.

It was a physiological event for the American people , to make the public believe that no one is above the law and that even presidents can be brought down . The common sheep will refer to this event when talking about conspiracies as if nothing can be hidden from the public , this event and the Monica and Bill event in the 90's are the same , make the American public believe that any sort of secret can't be hidden
