One
In 1974, Nixon became the first president in U.S. history to step down due to scandal because of the negligence of five pig teammates.
It happened 2 years ago, nixon sent 5 henchmen to the watergate building office to install a monitor in order to find out the news of competitors.
As a result, he was accidentally confronted by a staff member who had finished his shift, so the Nixon scandal was exposed and forced to step down. The history of this event is called "Watergate".
Watergate was the beginning of many historic moments in the United States, and its suffix "door" became synonymous with scandals, such as Clinton's zipper door and Trump's Russia door.
In addition, Nixon, the main "victim" of the incident, became the first and only president in the past to be impeached and removed from office.
Even if Trump was criticized last year and there were thousands of "impeachments" in media reports, he was not really impeached.
Why is Nixon so back-
If all the presidents of the United States are ranked by their political achievements, Nixon must be at the top of the list. He is called a "hero" at home, and his popularity abroad is also good.
But after the Watergate incident, Nixon showed his ugly face.
The court sent someone to investigate him, but he used his private power to instigate the Ministry of Justice to fire the other party. The first attorney general did not want to listen, and feared nixon's retaliation, so he voluntarily resigned. The second remained so, and it was not until the third that he reluctantly obeyed.
But the people in the court were fired, and Nixon abolished two ministers in a row.
Later, Nixon found a confidant named "Dean" as a scapegoat. But when Dean learned that he would be sentenced to 40 years in prison, he quickly shook out the inside story.
At this moment, Nixon can be described as an enemy on all sides. All his White House subordinates had been convinced of Nixon until now, rushing forward to clear his charges. But when the truth was revealed, everyone broke their defenses and felt that they had been completely tricked by the boss.
In addition, in order to convict Nixon, the court demanded that he hand over the tapes related to the incident.
Two
There are two major unsolved mysteries in American history, one is the real murderer behind the Kennedy assassination, and the other is the specific content of Nixon's 18.5-minute blank tape.
It turned out that the old and cunning Nixon had long erased the key information in the tape, and the 18.5-minute tape was blank.
And in this blank tape, there must be an earth-shattering secret.
At first, Nixon slyly argued that his female secretary had accidentally pressed the demagnetization button, causing the tape to have blank parts. But this theory does not hold up at all, because some experts have found that the tape has a total of 5 demagnetization records, which is obviously deliberately done by Nixon.
There was a research team that studied the tape, and they intended to restore the contents of the tape by special means, and vowed that it would only take a year to restore the truth.
But it's been almost 50 years since the incident, and the research team still hasn't come to any fruition.
Another thing that makes people wonder is that the tapes are all Nixon's own conversations with his assistants—why did he record his own conversations and leave incriminating evidence?
Nixon did not respond to the matter, perhaps with an even more ulterior secret.
In fact, according to Nixon's prestige, the Watergate incident was once covered up by his rhetoric, after all, no one wanted to believe that the president he respected would be a villain who eavesdropped.
However, one anonymous letter after another reached the court, and the Watergate incident was able to surface without giving up on Nixon.
Who is the owner of this anonymous letter?
He was originally named "Deep Throat" by the media.
The specific meaning of deep throat is more filthy, and everyone can Baidu by themselves. I think the media that named anonymous people in the first place had a lot of bad taste. Because of this precedent, later everyone also unified "deep throat" as a synonym for whistleblowers.
Deep Throat, as a mysterious figure who has turned over the president, was very legendary in the folk at first. People initially thought it was the White House secretary of state or a rival.
But they all guessed wrong, Deep Throat's real name was "Felt", and he was a person with a lot of ties to Nixon.
Three
In the 1960s and 1970s, there was a figure in the United States that both admired and feared the public—the founder of the FBI, Hoover.
Felt, on the other hand, was Hoover's chosen successor.
But after Hoover left office, Nixon promoted another colleague to the position of director, much to Felt's outrage.
So he desperately dug up nixon's related scandals, and finally exposed the "Watergate Incident" to the public to avenge the revenge of the year.
But his feud with Nixon didn't end there.
Years later, Felt broke into a house for work reasons and was sued in court.
Originally, he would have been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison, but nixon testified at the critical moment, sparing Felt from prison and only a fine of $5,000.
Didn't Nixon know that Felt was "deep throat"?
According to the recordings he handed over, Nixon may have known this. He has come to help his former enemies now, perhaps just to let go of the past.
Felt the psychological pressure of going through this, and his wife, perhaps assimilated by him, ended her life with a revolver in 1984.
After all, Felt has the psychological quality of a secret agent and has been living well until 2008.
He has also exposed his "deep throat" identity, and people immediately used language to fight him, calling him a "poisonous snake" because he had harmed the best (at least in terms of political achievements) President Nixon in the United States.
But this was no longer visible to Nixon, who died of a stroke as early as 1994.
The blow to him was so great that he wrote an autobiography that spent tens of thousands of words describing in detail the watergate incident in an attempt to whitewash himself.
He also wrote a large number of strategic books, among which the phrase "When Chinese forget their culture, then attack them is the best time" from Nixon's mouth.
During his tenure, in addition to the orderly governance of the country, he was also well received internationally. For example, he was the first president of the United States to visit, breaking the ice between our country and a beautiful country – although Chuan Jianguo recast this layer of fortification.
So some people say: Nixon's character is not flattering, but he is undoubtedly qualified as a president.
