Well I was curious about if you recall if Nixon actually explicitly admitted to ordering the Watergate spying. My teachers insisted he did and tried to shut me down for questioning it, though I couldn't really find any concrete evidence of this.
The White House tapes didn’t have Nixon planning any breakin. Lots of really lowdown talk, (“expletive deleted” became a joke) but no planning breakins. He was railroaded for trying to cover it up. He definitely did that. Even admitted it. He didn’t think he’d get in so much trouble because he was President. It was the first case of “The coverup is worse than the crime.” Made it into a conspiracy to obstruct justice.
So, you might say he was robbed of a second term he won massively. Like DJT.
He had an enemies list. Kind of a paranoid guy. He was supposedly afraid the DNC had information indicating he’d been in Dealy Plaza that fateful day. That’s what G. Gordon Liddy said anyway. He’s an interesting character also. Roger Stone with a loaded gun iykwim. He later toured the country “debating” Timothy Leary. It was a cheap tawdry way to make money out of a national tragedy, but that’s not unusual either.
Here’s an MSNBC article so your teachers will trust it. They say it can’t be determined conclusively, which means they failed to prove it despite transcripts of the whitehouse tapes.
