Nixon's mistake was doing it all in secret. He should have been more like today's government mobsters and tried to make everything "legal". Get a crooked judge to sign off on a warrant and he could have had the FBI grab those documents for him.
He did win in a landslide. It is also my understanding that, like Hunter Biden's laptop, the public was largely in the dark about this prior to the election. That may not have mattered to a significant proportion of the public anyway, looking at that electoral college outcome.
Bro but look at these papers on the carpet please bro national security bro yeah death to america and all that but naw bro this is a real threat bro look at all of them that we totally didn't bring with us and plant bro you gotta believe us bro
And yet again this is why I say Watergate is no big deal compared to stuff we see now
It makes me wonder if Nixon was right in doing it.
I’ve had the same thoughts.

That is a good point. If he did it in secret, there may have been a reason we will never really know.
It makes me wonder if Nixon's team even did it, or were stuck holding deliberate fall guys planted.
He was. Everyone I've ever talked to from Nixon's era loved him.

Nixon did nothing wrong.
the justice department cries out in pain as it strikes you
"You must understand that while you; and even I; may not always agree with it, it is not the message that is important, it is our obedience to it."
