>Richard Nixon's watergate scandal actually ended up possibly helping Americans in the future become more suspicious of our government and want more transparency
I do like Nixon, I think he was the right man for the right time.

Nixon knew how to play the political game. He was a genius in that aspect.
Whats weird is that LBJ had the FBI bug Nixons campaign (exactly ehat Nixon did) and knew about Nixon's peace talks. Though it never came to light.

LBJ did nothing because before Nixon won the election it looked like he would lose to Humphrey anyway, and after he'd won the election he figured it would destabilize the country too much. Hard to say if he was right, but we sure as shit didn't need to suffer through so many more years of Vietnam in service of Nixon's sociopathic ambitions.
