The Committee for the reelection of Nixon as president was wire tapping the opponents. They were illegally using government money to spy on the opponents with Nixon's consent.

Because the opponents were taking money from the commies.

Use google or wikipedia, you lazy shit.

Stupid, stupid move. Nixon was way ahead in the polls anyways. They didn't even get any good oppo research off from the DNC

Nixon deserved his fall, he did great things, but he was too paranoid

The liberal media went after Nixon for doing something a hundred times smaller than what they're allowing Hillary get away with now. When a Republican slips on a banana peel, the media does in depth research and investigation. When a democrat does, it's on page 7 right next to the local high school football game.

its due tmrw

And you're expecting to get a full, exhaustive and accurate assessment from Sup Forums?
Retard or troll?

Wikipedia is still a much better and faster source.

LOL you cucks defending Nixon. He's the main reason are economy is turning to shit because of fiat money

Nixon used his own private phones for official calls, but didn't really know how they worked.

>Nixon
>Not misery index, weak kneed Carter
come on now, dude

>Le nixon is bad meme

And Hillary Clinton compromised classified emails on her server, did not get suggested for prosecution by the FBI, and is the Democrat nominee.

>oh no he wire tapped some commies
>oh no he lied about it
Jesus christ we were a fickle people back then. Nixon was a modern savior and we crucified him for the political equivalent of jaywalking.

Hadn't he already lost an election because of voter fraud?

how's freshman year treating you

Taking us off the gold standard is as Jewish as you can get.

>why are you limited in funds, goy
>just print money when you need it!

Nixon was a great man of historical magnitude. He had vision, he had guts and was a leader among men. However, he was a profoundly flawed person.

His activities as they related to Watergate had to do with obstruction of justice and really little else. However, the Watergate matter was a vehicle to remove him from office primarily for other wrongdoing and the fact that he made a lot of enemies in the Republican party. He generally thought of Northeast Republicans as elitist and frequently aligned himself with Southern Democrats. That benefited Americans because it permitted Nixon to get things done relating to domestic policy. It blew up in his face with an impending impeachment though, which was highly partisan. His Democratic allies weren't going to help him, and he had few friends among powerful Republicans.

Because you are only allowed to spy on normal citizens in America. Apparently only politicians deserve privacy..

Learn some history then look at what you posted. Fiat money is as "evil jew" as you can get.

maybe do some reading on your own and you'll see how much it has put us into this economic mess

well you know how the US government can spy on everyone without a warrant? That used to be frowned upon

>implying it made page 7.

>LOL you cucks defending Nixon. He's the main reason are economy is turning to shit because of fiat money


He had to pay for Johnson's war somehow.

Nixon covered up a scandal opposing party group getting wiretapped.

Yes, JFK had his Mafia guys in Chicago fill the ballot boxes with Democrat votes

This!

He ordered the CIA to stop an FBI investigation of the Watergate break in, which was okayed by Nixon and designed to get dirt on political opponents. That's obstruction of justice. It's a high felony. He ordered the head of doj to fire the special prosecutor who was getting all the evidence of Nixon's cover-up. That official resigned and was replaced by Robert Bork who fired the special prosecutor. Articles of impeachment were drafted by the house and even Republicans were going to impeach him since all of Nixon's shenanigans were on audio tape. They came to him and told him to resign

Nixon was great. Nixon opened up China to the world and helped prevent the spread of Communism.

>33
kek verifies this as true

that's okay with me, JFK was openly against secret societies. Hence the assassination.

>Nixon was a raging anti-semite
>Nixon was a raging anti-communist
>Nixon was anti-dinduification of America
>Nixon wanted to fry the gooks
>Nixon got cucked by the establishment and jew lobby
>Nixon saves the jews in the Yom Kippur war in order to not hand the middle east to the soviet union on a silver platter
>Nixon had therefore outlived his purpose and the jews decided to punish him for being a bad goy

There ya go senpai, here are some proofs of Nixon being redpilled as fuck:

> "The Jews are all over the government," Nixon complained to his chief of staff, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman, in an Oval Office meeting recorded on one of a set of White House tapes released yesterday at the National Archives. Nixon said the Jews needed to be brought under control by putting someone "in charge who is not Jewish" in key agencies.

>Washington "is full of Jews," the president asserted. "Most Jews are disloyal." He made exceptions for some of his top aides, such as national security adviser Henry Kissinger, his White House counsel, Leonard Garment, and one of his speechwriters, William Safire, and then added:

>"But, Bob, generally speaking, you can't trust the bastards. They turn on you. Am I wrong or right?"

>Haldeman agreed wholeheartedly. "Their whole orientation is against you. In this administration, anyway. And they are smart. They have the ability to do what they want to do--which is to hurt us."

Fuck man, Nixon was 100% on the money when it came to the Jews in government. The list of neocons who bullied Bush into invading Iraq reads like Schindler's List

Not to mention the Neo-con movement started from literal commies and Leninists

He was also into the new deal

Watergate was a major political scandal that occurred in the United States in the 1970s, following a break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. and President Richard Nixon's administration's attempted cover-up of its involvement.

He doesn't sound like an anti-semite. He didn't hate Jews. I used to think he did until you actual read what he really said. There are many Jews that he trusted with his life.
