Reply #57: For several months the story was almost buried

[Time for change]

If my memory serves me right, I was hoping from the beginning that it would lead to impeachment, but maybe that was more hope than insight, since I kind of hated Nixon (although I don't think I ever hated him as much as Bush, and now I even like him compared to Bush).

Then a few months later it came back, and started building. The big break-through was when John Dean started talking. He was absolutely great. That led to a treasure chest of other witnesses.

The other big breakthrough was when Alexander Butterworth came through with the information that the tapes existed. The tapes were the smoking gun.
