Yes he did. And if you will read your history, both sides were engaged in such activities during that period of our nation's history. Nixon just got caught. The FBI was so corrupt during Hoover's reign that Kennedy, Johnson, et. al. got involved in cover-ups, etc. Hoover often bribed presidents or should I say, blackmailed them. Felt was pissed because when Hoover died, Nixon didn't appoint him FBI Director. If Nixon had, Felt would have been involved in the cover-up too. If you do not admit that, then you are just proving you are a partisan hack.nakedemperor said:Also, I think its ludicrous to consider Nixon a misunderstood peacenik (wait, isn't this a bad thing?) who had to lie to the hawks to get peace. Watergate wasn't just a lie about theft. Nixon and his direct subordinate engaged in political burglary, bribery, extortion, wiretapping, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, tax fraud, illegal use of CIA, illegal use of FBI, illegal campaign contribution, and private use of public (taxpayer) resources.
