Joe:

On November 17, 1973, in the midst of the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon said to the American people in a televised nationally broadcast news conference from the land of make believe - Disney World in Orlando, Florida - "I am not a crook."

And "I have earned everything I have."

The guy was on the take from so many places its ridiculous.  To name just two, the Shah of Iran and Batista.

And the Greek Junta.

Hands down, Nixon was one of the worst presidents in recent history.

And it took the murders of both Kennedys to get him to the White House.

It appears that Roger Stone was wrong about Wallace. https://kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-reviews/mellen-joan-faustian-bargains

But there is actually a pretty good book on this subject that, of course, no one in the vaunted research community has ever read. Its called All the Way with LBJ.

It's an in depth examination of the 1964 election.  And it deals pretty thoroughly with the Baker, Reynolds, and Estes cases.

Contrary to the CW, these did not go away after Kennedy's death.  They actually went on for a few months after.  The Republicans were trying to do something with them in congress.

Johnson was still addressing them in public as late as May of 1964.
