Nixon never gave top secret info to the Russians. Nixon never got into many multilevel obvious conflicts of interest. Nixon didn't view the presidency as an opportunity to enrich himself at taxpayer expense.

If the investigation into tRump's Russia ties reveals criminal activity, this will be a much higher level offense than anything Nixon did.

I don't think it will. From what I read, repubs back then were more honorable. Nowadays, they are cultish.

Hypocrisy is why Trump is president. Those like yourself are not taken seriously because of it also. Obama promised to roll back the Bush tax cuts. He made excuse after excuse for not doing so and now they are simply the tax structure. One that Obama is going to benefit greatly from now.

There was no one holding him to his promises. The (D)'s rejected the guy that might have actually done something about that.

Had Nixon wiped the tapes, we would have never had a President Ford.

Politicians now know to destroy evidence, take the fifth and say they don't recall.

Your Obamaphobia is no secret.

Your deflection is pitiful.
