President Nixon - August 30 1972 press conference
President Nixon - August 30 1972 press conference
Teachers and students would be hard-pressed to find a more bold-faced lie in American history - that is, before Bill Clinton stared into the camera and said "I did not..." Here is Nixon in August of 1972 - two months after the break in and 3 before the election saying that the worse part of "these matters" is when you try to cover it up. Which is exactly what he was doing at the time
I think under these circumstances we are doing everything we can to take this incident and to investigate it and not to cover it up. What really hurts in matters of this sort is not the fact that they occur, because overzealous people in campaigns do things that are wrong. What really hurts is if you try to cover it up.
