I love it. You're trying to defend Tricky Dicky a quarter-century later through Republican "legalese," i.e., "Can you come up with a single criminal indictment against Nixon?! Well, can you!?" Only a dipstick would argue that line today.

True, impeachment is not a criminal proceeding -- it was just the proximate cause of Nixon's resignation. Nixon was never charged with a crime; he was just named as an "unindicted co-conspirator" in the criminal charges against John Mitchell. Several of the results of the Watergate investigation could have led to criminal charges if Ford had not pardoned Nixon, starting with the hiring of burglars to break into Democratic campaign offices. Burglary, and the hiring of burglars, is a criminal offense.
