In recent elections there have been 3 cases of electoral skulduggery and shenanigans. We know about the allegations about Trump colluding with Putin but there was also the secret deal between Reagan and the Ayatollah to not release the American hostages till after the 80' election. And finally the secret deal between Nixon and Thieu of South Vietnam to kill negotiations with the North until after a Nixon win.
The difference between the 3 is the President at the time, LBJ was well aware of this secret deal and for whatever reasons choose not to expose Nixon. I'm sure such level of magnanimity would never be considered today. Given how close the election turned out, within a razor's edge, would exposure of this deal have ensured Nixon's defeat?
