So who is gonna be our Sen. Lowell Weicker?

[PCIntern]

He was the righteous Republican in the Senate Select Watergate Committee. The other Republicans did their best to defend Nixon until the tapes came out. Then they slowly peeled off the wagon train of defense

1. Maybe Mitt Romney? nt

2. Howard Baker played it straight, too.

The tapes didn't actually come out until July 1974.

4. I watched every minute of those hearings

He was careful to protect himself of course but he didn’t impress me as a hero ever. I understand how people would feel positive toward him especially in light of how Republicans are today

5. I would submit there were two phrases which came out of the Watergate era that are

remembered to this day.

1. Well, I'm not a crook! (Which actually had to do with his taxes, rather than Watergate, per se).

2. What did the President know, and when did he know it?

One was Nixon at a press conference in Florida.

The other was Howard Baker during the Senate Watergate hearings.

6. Yes but the latter

Asked a question, it didn’t make a statement. The question was obvious: the answer until the tapes was in question

7. I watched it too. Trump vs Nixon? In looking back, I can also see why

some people might see Nixon in more positive light compared with the Trump/Republican show. I never thought we could ever go through that again. In some ways, this is worse. At least most of this show is coming out for all to see.

3. I hope Burr gets woke--that would save a lot of time.
