Clinton on Vance's Watergate blip comment.

5. Richard Nixon Would Never Have Countenanced Donald Trump's.....

treason, grand larceny, and general destructiveness.

Nixon was a paranoiac, from a generation that defeated the Fascists (he served in the Navy in WWII as did JFK) and then saw "Commies" everywhere---the USSR had an "empire;" China; Cuba; SE Asia.

To Nixon, Haldeman, Erlichman, Dean, and more, the "weak" McGovern Democrats needed to be defeated in any way possible, lest the world capitulate to Communism. And it would be most helpful to know their political election strategies. Hence, the Watergate break-in.*

But HRC (when I read "Clinton," I think Bill, who was, after all, a President) was correct in implying that no Republican today would, as did Sen. Hugh Scott and two others, make the walk to the White House to tell---not just suggest to---Nixon, or Trump, that he had to resign.

*That another Nixon crime that the term "Watergate" comprises was back-dated Federal Income Tax, seems almost charmingly quaint in this era.
