Creative Speculation

When Nixon resigned, there were 27% who thought that he was innocent and should have stayed in
office as President of the United States.

This is even though there was solid proof that Nixon had lied about every aspect of Watergate, including
getting rid of the special prosecutor. Further, by somehow erasing the tapes, Nixon destroyed evidence
which of course was unlawful, as well as breaking the law in many other ways. Many of his closest
aids including John Dean and the Attorney General spent time in jail. ...Still, among all the lies,
and illegal acts....27% still thought he was innocent and should have stayed in the office.
