"Realizing that he had no chance of staying in office, Nixon decided to resign. The morning that his resignation was to take effect, the President, with
Mrs. Nixon and their family, said farewell to the White House staff in
the East Room."
What a fucking criminal -

"It's almost universally maintained by those who have expressed any
opinion on the matter that if the public had known about Nixon's treason
while he was president, all hell would have broken loose. Are we
really such idiots that we've now slipped into routinely acknowledging
the truth of the matter but raising no hell whatsoever? Do we really
care so much about personalities and vengeance that Nixon's crime means
nothing if Nixon is dead? Isn't the need to end wars and spying and
government secrets, to make diplomacy public and nonviolent, a need that
presses itself fiercely upon us regardless of how many decades it will
take before we learn every offensive thing our current top officials are
up to?"
