In a very good and under read book, titled, Silent Coup, the Removal of a President, by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin, the Watergate Affair is looked at uniquely.  It is a good read and may still be available via Amazon. Anyway, there were plenty of phoney’s involved and one of them may not have been President Nixon. It does need to be remembered that in the election  Watergate gave President Nixon absolutely no edge over George Mc Govern.  Nixon won his election, as did Obama, “Fair and square”  And we all seem to forget that Nixon won forty eight States, or was it forty nine?  So if we want to talk about a mandate, he definitely had one and he lied about nothing in order to win the confidence of the people.  Rather, Watergate was the undoing of the people’s free decision. It was a Silent Coup.  And by whom? By Senators like Sam Erwin, a professed hater of Nixon.  Factually, it was revealed a few weeks ago that Judge Sirica of the Federal circuit court, shared private, privileged information concerning Nixon and other defendents with the Special Prosecutor,  which I believe was illegal and required him to recuse himself from any further ruling in the case.  When the Judge is willing to help the Prosecutor and consistently rules against you and is unethical enough to consider you guilty until proven innocent, well, that is plain wrong.
