2014 following 1973 Nixon Chronology of a political burglary..

[healthmyths]

Nixon impeachment was about a president (I voted for him by the way!!!) who tried to subvert the Constitution.
Obama's impeachment will be about the destruction of 1/6th of the USA GDP! A big deal that without puts the Constitution at risk!

To impeach/indict Obama it is necessary to impeach/indict almost the entire liberal/progressive establishment in the news media, academia, and popular culture.
That is not beyond the realm of possibility. But it would require further major surprises and revelations —
including not just hard evidence of criminal wrongdoing, but a shift in public opinion holding him to blame for failing to tell the truth or act responsibly.

Watergate: Brief Timeline Of Events

 

[healthmyths]

MAJOR problem ??? We'd have Biden as Prez!

 

[g5000]

The really annoying thing about impeachments is that you have to have evidence of a crime. Ain't that a fucking bitch?

Here's an example:

Haldeman: Now, on the investigation, you know, the Democratic break-in thing, we’re back to the-in the, the problem area because the FBI is not under control, because Gray doesn’t exactly know how to control them, and they have, their investigation is now leading into some productive areas, because they’ve been able to trace the money, not through the money itself, but through the bank, you know, sources – the banker himself. And, and it goes in some directions we don’t want it to go. Ah, also there have been some things, like an informant came in off the street to the FBI in Miami, who was a photographer or has a friend who is a photographer who developed some films through this guy, Barker, and the films had pictures of Democratic National Committee letter head documents and things. So I guess, so it’s things like that that are gonna, that are filtering in. Mitchell came up with yesterday, and John Dean analyzed very carefully last night and concludes, concurs now with Mitchell’s recommendation that the only way to solve this, and we’re set up beautifully to do it, ah, in that and that…the only network that paid any attention to it last night was NBC…they did a massive story on the Cuban…

Nixon: That’s right.

Haldeman: thing.

Nixon: Right.

Haldeman: That the way to handle this now is for us to have Walters call Pat Gray and just say, “Stay the hell out of this…this is ah, business here we don’t want you to go any further on it.” That’s not an unusual development,…

Nixon: Um huh.

Right there you have obstruction of justice.

Haldeman: …and, uh, that would take care of it.

Nixon: What about Pat Gray, ah, you mean he doesn’t want to?

Haldeman: Pat does want to. He doesn’t know how to, and he doesn’t have, he doesn’t have any basis for doing it. Given this, he will then have the basis. He’ll call Mark Felt in, and the two of them …and Mark Felt wants to cooperate because…

Nixon: Yeah.

Haldeman: he’s ambitious…

Nixon: Yeah.

Haldeman: Ah, he’ll call him in and say, “We’ve got the signal from across the river to, to put the hold on this.” And that will fit rather well because the FBI agents who are working the case, at this point, feel that’s what it is. This is CIA.

Nixon: But they’ve traced the money to ‘em.

Haldeman: Well they have, they’ve traced to a name, but they haven’t gotten to the guy yet.

Nixon: Would it be somebody here?

Haldeman: Ken Dahlberg.

Nixon: Who the hell is Ken Dahlberg?

Haldeman: He’s ah, he gave $25,000 in Minnesota and ah, the check went directly in to this, to this guy Barker.

Nixon: Maybe he’s a …bum.

Nixon: He didn’t get this from the committee though, from Stans.

Haldeman: Yeah. It is. It is. It’s directly traceable and there’s some more through some Texas people in–that went to the Mexican bank which they can also trace to the Mexican bank…they’ll get their names today. And (pause)

Nixon: Well, I mean, ah, there’s no way… I’m just thinking if they don’t cooperate, what do they say? They they, they were approached by the Cubans. That’s what Dahlberg has to say, the Texans too. Is that the idea?

Haldeman: Well, if they will. But then we’re relying on more and more people all the time. That’s the problem. And ah, they’ll stop if we could, if we take this other step.

Nixon: All right. Fine.

Haldeman: And, and they seem to feel the thing to do is get them to stop?

Nixon: Right, fine.

Haldeman: They say the only way to do that is from White House instructions. And it’s got to be to Helms and, ah, what’s his name…? Walters.

Nixon: Walters.

Haldeman: And the proposal would be that Ehrlichman (coughs) and I call them in

Nixon: All right, fine.

Haldeman: and say, ah…

Nixon: How do you call him in, I mean you just, well, we protected Helms from one hell of a lot of things.

Haldeman: That’s what Ehrlichman says.

Nixon: Of course, this is a, this is a Hunt, you will-that will uncover a lot of things. You open that scab there’s a hell of a lot of things and that we just feel that it would be very detrimental to have this thing go any further. This involves these Cubans, Hunt, and a lot of hanky-panky that we have nothing to do with ourselves. Well what the hell, did Mitchell know about this thing to any much of a degree.

Haldeman: I think so. I don ‘t think he knew the details, but I think he knew.

Nixon: He didn’t know how it was going to be handled though, with Dahlberg and the Texans and so forth? Well who was the asshole that did? (Unintelligible) Is it Liddy? Is that the fellow? He must be a little nuts.

Haldeman: He is.

Nixon: I mean he just isn’t well screwed on is he? Isn’t that the problem?

Haldeman: No, but he was under pressure, apparently, to get more information, and as he got more pressure, he pushed the people harder to move harder on…

Nixon: Pressure from Mitchell?

Haldeman: Apparently.

Nixon: Oh, Mitchell, Mitchell was at the point that you made on this, that exactly what I need from you is on the–

Haldeman: Gemstone, yeah.

Nixon: All right, fine, I understand it all. We won’t second-guess Mitchell and the rest. Thank God it wasn’t Colson.

Haldeman: The FBI interviewed Colson yesterday. They determined that would be a good thing to do.

Nixon: Um hum.

Haldeman: Ah, to have him take a…

Nixon: Um hum.

Haldeman: An interrogation, which he did, and that, the FBI guys working the case had concluded that there were one or two possibilities, one, that this was a White House, they don’t think that there is anything at the Election Committee, they think it was either a White House operation and they had some obscure reasons for it, non political,…

Nixon: Uh huh.

Haldeman: or it was a…

Nixon: Cuban thing-

Haldeman: Cubans and the CIA. And after their interrogation of, of…

Nixon: Colson.

Haldeman: Colson, yesterday, they concluded it was not the White House, but are now convinced it is a CIA thing, so the CIA turn off would…

Nixon: Well, not sure of their analysis, I’m not going to get that involved. I’m (unintelligible).

Haldeman: No, sir. We don’t want you to.

Nixon: You call them in.

Nixon: Good. Good deal! Play it tough. That’s the way they play it and that’s the way we are going to play it.

Haldeman: O.K. We’ll do it.

Nixon: Yeah, when I saw that news summary item, I of course knew it was a bunch of crap, but I thought ah, well it’s good to have them off on this wild hair thing because when they start bugging us, which they have, we’ll know our little boys will not know how to handle it. I hope they will though. You never know. Maybe, you think about it. Good!

 

[birddog]

Nixon with his imperfections was a good president. He, unlike Clinton or Obama, had enough class to resign when he should have.

Biden is an idiot, but he would be better than the lying Kenyan POS!

 

[g5000]

Good old Nixon. Wage and price freezes. Stagflation. Created the Environmental Protection Agency. Made friends with Red China. Lost the war in Vietnam.

One of the worst Democratic Presidents we ever had!

"Criminal"??? What happens when Jarrett gets immunity???
The Justice Department on Tuesday opened a criminal investigation into the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups as lawmakers clamored for senior officials at the agency to be fired.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the department would be looking into whether any IRS staffers broke the law when giving extra scrutiny to Tea Party groups and other organizations on the right that sought tax-exempt status.
“Those were, I think, as everyone can agree, if not criminal, they were certainly outrageous and unacceptable,” Holder said at a press conference. “But we are examining the facts to see if there were criminal violations.”

Remembering Nixon's Wage and Price Controls | Cato Institute

On Aug. 15, 1971, in a nationally televised address, Nixon announced, “I am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages throughout the United States.”

What do you think Republicans would do if Obama tried to pull that shit?

Yeah...they would lose whatever is left of their minds.

 

[Edgetho]

Nixon was never Impeached.

Only two dimocraps have been Impeached -- Andrew Johnson and Bill the rapist Clinton.

Both were acquitted by the Senate.

Unfortunately

 

[birddog]

Good old Nixon. Wage and price freezes. Stagflation. Created the Environmental Protection Agency. Made friends with Red China. Lost the war in Vietnam.

One of the worst Democratic Presidents we ever had![/QUOTE


Nixon didn't lose the war, the PC crowd like Kerry and others did. Besides, it was Johnson's war. I served then, and could have been killed because of LBJ and McNamara, and I like many lost friends in Nam!

Some price and wage freezing is a good idea today if other things are done to stimulate the economy. Cutting spending in the Congress and Senate would greatly help. What we have been doing is not working, especially in the last few years.

 

[BlindBoo]

Nixon with his imperfections was a good president. He, unlike Clinton or Obama, had enough class to resign when he should have.

Biden is an idiot, but he would be better than the lying Kenyan POS!

When candidate Nixon convinced the South Vietnamese that he would get them better peace terms than President Johnson, he signed the death warrants for 10's of thousands American servicemen. That's class?

He resigned because he was going to be impeached by the House, convicted by the Senate and removed from office.

Birthers have no class. Zero. Zip. Nada.

And this leads to an impeachment of Obama...how?

An awful lot of people have manufactured an order by Obama in their minds with zero evidence to support this wishful thinking.

Only two dimocraps have been Impeached -- Andrew Johnson and Bill the rapist Clinton.

Nixon was days away from impeachment. He was informed of this by power members of the GOP. That is why he resigned. The whole country knew it.

You forgot, Nixon offer Ted Kennedy a deal on national health ins and Teddy turned it down (which he later regretted).

Nixon was always a big proponent of Universal Health Insurance. He even sponsored a bill his first year in the House, 1947... Which got nowhere.

Nixon wasn't as bad as people think. Mostly because.... They're just ignorant.

Nixon was the last of the "Imperial Presidents"

Up until Nixon, Presidents were almost like Kings. You didn't mes with them.

FDR, Truman, Ike, JFK...... They ruled supreme.

Congress got tired of playing second fiddle and saw a chance to knock the Executive branch down a notch or two.

And they did.

Plus, dimocraps HATED Nixon for taking down one of their favorite people.. The communist spy Alger Hiss from the FDR Administration.

Nixon really wasn't all that bad of a president. Not the kind of guy you'd want to have a beer with, IMO. But not a bad president.

China, ended Vietnam with a victory (which dimocrap scum gave away), started the EPA, put an American on the Moon....

Not nearly as bad as dimocrap scum make him out to be.

Now obama.... A serious dirtbag.

Worst ever. Nobody else even gets close
