  1. Even Nixon knew he didn't have immunity. That's why he asked Ford for a pardon. On Aug. 7, 1974, Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., House Minority Leader John Rhodes, R-Ariz., and Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, R-Pa., made it clear to Nixon that he faced all-but-certain impeachment, conviction, and removal from office in connection with the WatergateScandal... Nixon announced his resignation the next day, which would be effective at noon on Aug 9, 1974. In his 2006 book "Conservatives Without Conscience," former Nixon White House Counsel John Dean wrote that the Capitol Hill trio "traveled to the White House to tell Nixon it was time to resign." In his 1988 autobiography, Goldwater wrote that after hearing their grim assessment, Nixon "knew beyond any doubt, that one way or another, his presidency was finished." This was back when the Republican party still had at least a modicum of dignity, decency, integrity, and a sense of right and wrong. Those days are long gone. Allowing Trump to run for election in 2024, would've been like allowing Nixon to run for election again in 1976.. Today, thanks to Trump, McCarthy, and others, the wholesale corruption of the GOP is now complete. The Republican Party is now led by a kleptocratic crimeBoss who ruled over the most scandal-ridden administration in history. Nixon’s administration may have been  riddled with criminality—but in 1973, the Republican Party was still a somewhat normal party, that still played by the rules, so Nixon was forced to resign. But not anymore. Those days are long gone.
