Roger Stone, the New York Times bestselling author of The Man Who Killed Kennedy, gives us the inside scoop on how Nixon avoided prosecution after the Watergate scandal. Using Gen Al Haig as his agent, Nixon let Vice President Ford know that he would expose the CIA's involvement in the JFK assassination and Ford's role in altering autopsy records for the Warren Commission if he went to trial in the Watergate scandal. “Tell them if Dick Nixon's going down I'm taking everyone down with me, that prick [CIA Director Richard] Helms, Lyndon, and Jerry Ford are going down with me” was the way Haig phrased it.

Thus Nixon would use this information to avoid prosecution and jail to blackmail Gerald Ford for a full, free and unconditional pardon. Nixon's secret would not only destroy his presidency—it would save him from prison.

Stone examines the bungled Watergate break-in to determine what exactly Nixon's agents were looking for and how the CIA infiltrated the burglar team and sabotaged the break-in to gain leverage over Nixon who was demanding the CIA turn over the records of the Bay of Pigs and Kennedy Assassination. He also explains the 18 1/2 minute gap in the White House Tapes, although the point is moot as the government has still redacted all references to the Bay of Pigs, the Kennedy Assassination, and the CIA from the publicly released Nixon tapes and the Obama Administration's fighting in Federal Court to keep the CIA's Bay of Pigs records sealed.

I don't believe it.
Nixon cut a pardon deal with Ford, before he named Ford VP.

I recently read a piece from 1973 about all of the misdeeds of Nixon, and of course the Leftist who wrote it was giddy about the pending Impeachment. The misdeeds were pretty mild in comparison to the current POS POTUS.

I agree, Red Oak.

Nixon's tapes did him in.
Bits and pieces of them were leaked every day- day after day.
That made it seem that Nixon's "crimes" were much worse than they actually were.

When the existence of the tapes was made known and before they were subpoenaed, John Connally advised Nixon to call a press conference in the Rose Garden and burn them.
If Nixon had done that, the rest would not have happened.

Yep.

And if you ask the everyday person Nixon was the first to record stuff in the White House.

So what is the difference between a 18 1/2 minute gap in a tape recording and the destruction of hundreds of emails that were required by law to be kept ? Nixon was under no such requirement to keep the recordings until he was served.
