Stone, you have some cool posts, but Nixon was so bad.
I can't tell you everything since you don't have the clearances.
* Nixon would have Dr. Daniel Ellsberg rot without liberty. Why? For exposing Nixon.
* Nixon got CIA's Howard Hunt to use Chappaquiddick to discourage Ted Kennedy from running.
* Nixon obstructed the Pentagon Papers, fearing he would lose the '72 election because of the strong anti-war movement.
* Watergate is not what Woodward/Bernstein claimed (FBI's Mark Felt fed Woodward a story).
* Watergate results from rumour that Castro sent damning evidence of true story about Bay of Pigs to DNC headquarters in the Watergate.
* Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis are major CIA assets; they wouldn't be involved in something so trivial as what Mark Felt told Woodward.
* Bay of Pigs was Nixon's project when VP under Eisenhower.
* JFK knew Dulles was lying about size and strength of anti-Castro Cuban forces, so backed off air support, thinking Dulles wouldn't go forward. Dulles did, thinking JFK would be forced to send in full invasion force. JFK refused so that he could get rid of Dulles and disband the CIA.
* However, Khrushchev saw JFK as weak. Soviets wanted West Berlin.
* Khrushchev had larger force and many more missiles in Cuba that JFK was informed about.
* Cuban Missile Crisis was much more dangerous that textbooks allow, and JFK handled it so poorly that it was likely West Berlin would be taken by Soviets without US defending, in exchange for Soviets not sending nukes into US.
* Cuban Missile Crisis is the catalyst for CIA's James Angleton eventually sending 3 shooters to Dallas for Nov 22 1963.
* Castro was under the thumb of Khrushchev, so flipped and said he didn't want the Soviets in Cuba. This would allow JFK to attack Soviet forces and missiles sites in Cuba under international law.
* Khrushchev was hung out to dry, JFK promised not to invade Cuba, and West Berlin was saved. Turkey had to give up the US-supplied nukes, which alienated that country. Khrushchev lost.
* As an aside, there were 5 shooters in Dallas. One Mossad (Dal-Tex building), three CIA (overpass, fence at grassy knoll, 6th floor TSBD), one Chicago mafia (storm drain).
* Angleton didn't know about Mossad or Chicago mafia.
* Oswald was supposed to be a patsy, then escape with help of FBI and flee to Cuba, so he could get close to Castro and then help US with invasion plans.
* Henry Crown, who started the assassination scheme, had Jack Ruby take out Oswald. Crown was under investigation for multiple illegal acts to procure lucrative government contracts for General Dynamics Forth Worth TX. Investigation stopped after LBJ was sworn in. Crown got the Mossad involved. Crown didn't know about Angleton and J Edgar Hoover wanting to set-up Oswald as a patsy, instead thought Oswald would talk once in custody.
* Mossad hit JFK's back, 2nd shot missed and almost hit James Tague. This was the shot that resulted in the single bullet theory. CIA expected only 3 shots: throat (overpass), shoulder (grassy knoll), back (6th floor TSBD; Cuban exile hit Connally instead). Grassy knoll shot not obvious ib Zapruder film because of no one knew Sam Giancana sent a shooter, and that shooter took almost half of the right side of JFK's head off using a powerful hand gun from storm drain.
* Note that CIA intended to wound JFK. Mossad was supposed to assassinate, and let CIA take the blame. That is why Zapruder left the ideal location to film the motorcade (his office area) and went to a poor location, but one which covers up any shot from the Dal-Tex building.

Oh stop with the looney claims. Just stop.
