Nixon was recorded (on his own tape recorders!) as responding to the idea that they should break into the Democratic National Headquarters by saying, "Yeah, we could do that!"
And then there was a "mysterious" gap where the tape had "accidentally" been erased by his secretary Rosemary Woods. Nixon claimed that the erased part included the phrase, "but that would be wrong."
And if you believe that, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Cheap.
