The reason Richard Nixon fell is not as simple as you state. It is difficult to blame the liberals and media for something this misguided president did to himself.

Richard Nixon's great fault was letting his paranoia best him and participating in the planning of the Watergate breakin. The capture of the Watergate burglars began the long process resulting in Nixon's resignation in lieu of being impeached for major crimes. These crimes not only included participation in criminal acts, but also the illegal bombing of Cambodia, betraying his oath as President of the United States, illegal bombing of Laos and more. It was not just simply the liberal media calling him names. Nixon was a criminal who resigned in lieu of being impeached to keep his pension and hope to be acclaimed as a elder statesman in the further.

Nixon flirted with treason in 1968 as a presidential candidate who established diplomatic relations with South Vietnam in order to derail the Paris Peace Talks being established by President Lyndon Johnson. As a civilian, it was illegal for any civilian to negotiate with any foreign government, but Nixon was driven by a desire not to be the first American president to lose a war. He took the chance of not being caught and managed to stymy the talks, but was found out by LBJ who did not choose to charge him with treason for some reason.

Richard Nixon's acts also included consolidating all the powers of the constitution within the White House and came to be known as the Imperial President. He made a fatal error when an aide mentioned Nixon taped all conversations in the White House and the Special Prosecutor quickly obtained a court order to have them turned over. Nixon transcribed them instead, but altered key phrases in an effort to lessen the seriousness of the conversations. The Supreme Court forced him to eventually turn the tapes over and Nixon knew the contents spelled the ned for him. He quickly appointed Gerald Ford Vice-President and planned his exit which occurred in August, 1974, with his resignation. The full extent of his crimes has taken years to fully comprehend, but recent revelations of foreign governments giving him direct illegal campaign contributions, laundered money coming in from the Bahamas, and illicit weapons purchases were part of his illegal legacy. Indeed, he is one of the most crooked presidents this nation has ever endured and over 25,000 more Americans died in Vietnam as a result of his tampering with the Paris Peace Talks.

Mark Felt had a moral imperative to topple this man before he implemented plans to completely take over the United States through an expanded COINTELPRO (counterintelligence program) of monitoring all citizens through wiretaps, steam opening letters, surveillance and continuous reporting. He also planned to open internment camps since the executive order imprisoning Japanese-Americans in WWII had not been suspended. Nixon viewed this camps as reeducation facilities for American in the wrong fram of mind.

Mark Felt stopped Richard Nixon from continuing a war indefinitely and suspending all laws in this nation to do what he liked with any American citizen (the Huston Plan). Though a violation of his oath, he was forced to make a decision for this nation to survive.

What you say is agreeable to me, except that I do not see him plotting at every step of the way. Maybe it is a difference of degree and not substance. Whether he flirted with Treason I just do not know.

Great article. I agree with every thing except the last sentence. Nixon got what he deserved, but how and why Felt did what he did was wrong.

You get an insightful from me.
