So was watergate a covert c_I-a operation to remove Nixon because he had the potential to bring down the true assassins of jfk? hmm. Sounds like Nixon was trying to get cia info released showing their involvement in the assassination of jfk. That's why 4 cia agents created the 'watergate' break-in/scandal. Nixon had nothing to do with the burglary but they blamed him for the cover-up that led to his resignation. He didn't know it was a cia operation or he would've turned in all those involved instead of protecting them, thinking they were on his side.
There is a Nixon quote I saw about LBJ which said something like "I also wanted the presidency, but I wasn't willing to go along with a murder to get it". I always interpreted it that the CIA approached Nixon about taking out JFK and when he was not receptive, they approached LBJ instead.
My problem is the break-in didn't make any sense. Nixon was leading in the polls and won by a huge majority. He didn't need any inside info. He got 520 electoral votes vs. McGovern's 17.
