[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 1968 Lyndon Johnson gave an aide classified documents to hide from the incoming Nixon Administration.  Why wasn't he Indicted like Trump?

The Nixon administration dropped the ball?  [/quote]

The Nixon Administration did not want America to find out they kept the war going as a campaign stunt?[/quote]

It was to hide them period. Because they had evidence of Nixon's efforts to undermine peace talks and keep the war going so he could claim to stop it. The documents were kept secret because Johnson's administration feared the impact on the country if Nixon won and then we all found out what Nixon had been doing--this was at a time when every week the counts of US soldiers and NV soldiers killed were published in the newspapers, and on TV we could see war close up in a way that has never happened since--we could see the faces of dying soldiers. Nixon certainly would not have disclosed this information and denied it forever.

Maybe we should have had a serious constitutional crisis right then and avoided Watergate and everything that has come since. [/quote]
