AH Story Opinion: Nixon Taken Down or Nixon Left In Office?

Could Watergate turn into a festering & debilitating millstone around Nixon's neck even if he were to:
fire John Mitchell and Gordon Liddy from his re-election campaign (CRP) on June 20, 1972 after learning of the break in at the DNC's Watergate Building headquarters (tapes can come out a year or so later showing how he waffled and contemplated a cover-up)? Cooperating with and giving public support to Att. Gen. Richard Kleindienst's investigation of it is going to drive him bonkers, and sooner or later (around election time) he's going to have to fire John Ehrlichman and H.R. Haldeman. If he wins re-election, he's going to have to still deal w/Agnew and if/when Agnew resigns, Connolly will not be an acceptable successor in the eyes of the Democratic controlled Congress.
 

Have some fun with Tricky Dicky. How about an attempt to call out the army when he is impeached? Another would be to still have Agnew as VP and his defense is “Impeach me and you have that Moran as President.” Whatever you do make liberal use of Dick Tuck, the anti Nixon activist who hounded Nixon and his events. I think my favorite was at the 68 convention when the slogan was “Nixon’s the one.” Tuck hired a bunch of women, all black, all very pregnant with Signs
NIXONS THE ONE
