That he did great things for the country, but didn't know the difference between truth and fiction and the media and Dems hated him for that. Sound like anyone we know?

Could've been seeking an accord with China, which was not on the agenda at that time. Russ Bakers book: Family Of Secrets details GHWB's involvement in his downfall. The Watergate 'plumbers' came to the Whitehouse with Bush sr. They were all CIA, as was he. Watergate wasn't first effort to undermine RMN, either.

Q said watch the water. I’ve wondered since if that was a reference to the Watergate. The prop was renovated in 2009 or so.

Are powerful people and orgs still using that complex of bldg’s?

The “mainstream” reason for Nixon being so maligned is because, “he brought shame to the office of POTUS and the nation as a whole.”

Then of course the D’s used it to say all R’s are crooks. It’s the only way Carter won as the outsider - Mr Clean - born again Christian in ‘76.

What’s crazy is Nixon was completely done/washed up in politics after JFK won.

(It since has been proven that JFK did not win and pulled some shenanigans to hide R votes for a short time - Nixon decided not to challenge the vote because of the optics had he been wrong and still lost - if he had challenged - he would have won in ‘60).

Nixon came back from political obscurity to win his first term as POTUS. He was quite the politician.

I was a little young at the time but I remember several conversation where there were competing deep state operations. Both were nefarious but what defined them as separate I don't recall but I remember when Watergate happened the discussion regarding clearly Dick didn't play his take down very smartly. What would be fascinating is to learn how they became separate and which took JFK out. The only effort praised by the media regarding Nixon was his China endeavors. Suffice it to say I'm pretty ignorant regarding details as well but this Nixon story has been bugging the crap out of me since I was Q'd. Nixon provided a lot of ugliness regarding elimination of the gold backed dollar, created massive regulation including the EPA. Was the EPA born evil or did it morph into the monster it is, not sure.
