The House of Representatives Judiciary Committee opens impeachment hearings against President Richard Nixon, voting to impeach him on three counts on July 30.
The impeachment was the result of the scandal involving the bungled burglary of the offices of the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate apartment complex in Washington, D.C., on June 23, 1972. Eventually, it was learned that there was a criminal cover-up that went all the way to the White House. Nixon, facing the impeachment proceedings, resigned the presidency on August 8, 1974. His resignation had a major impact on the situation in Vietnam. Nixon had convinced South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu to consent to the provisions of the Paris Peace Accords by personally promising (on more than 30 occasions) that the United States would re-enter the conflict if the North Vietnamese violated the peace agreement.
However, when Nixon resigned, his successor, Gerald R. Ford, was not able to keep Nixon’s promises. Ford could not, despite Thieu’s desperate pleas for help, get Congress to appropriate significant funds to help the South Vietnamese. Having lost its sole source of aid and support, South Vietnam fell to the North Vietnamese in April 1975.

Those burglars lifted some of the evidence of all those pedophiles in congress. Something had to be done.
He should not have conceded to Kennedy or resigned. Let the impeachment vote go forward in the Senate. It was an inside job.
Republicans lose every time.
Man, back when he was President, I used to think he was really old, now he looks downright young, all a matter of perspective I suppose.
They had to, Tricky Dick went nutty as a fruitcake after lying about the moon landing thing. He was scared shitless that the truth would get out and he’d be lynched. Started drinking heavy and talking to people who were not there, seriously.
I entered NTC San Diego on the 7th. The next day at lunch they showed the the resignation. At lot of people cheered. But some of us nubs did not…

Seems both Nixon AND JFK had it in for the CIA.
