What if President Nixon, rather than firing John Mitchell and Gordon Liddy from his re-election campaign (CRP) on June 20, 1972 after the break in at the DNC's headquarters at the Watergate Building and publically supporting Att. Gen. Richard Kleindienst's investigation of it, and later that winter firing John Ehrlichman and H.R. Haldeman, he had attempted to cover up the CRP and White House staff's involvement in the break in?
How might such a cover up have played out?
How would this have impacted Nixon's 2nd term?
Would the US still have been able to stablize the South Vietnam government and withdraw our armed forces by the end of 1975?
Would Spiro Agnew's tax problems still have come to light and force him to abort his campaign for the 1976 Republican nomination?
Would we still have seen the Republicans (Reagen-Richardson) defeat the Democrats (Udall-Carter) in the 1976 Presidential election?
What would have become of the 1975 National Health Care Act and other aspects of Nixon's domestic and foreign agenda?
