        I was in the Navy on patrol on a SSBN, we had no idea this was happening. When Nixon resigned, the picture of the President changed in the mess hall. That was how we found out we had a new President.

        I have heard similar interesting ways service members found out. You should share your experience with @NixonLibrary or @LBJohnsonNPS !

        I’ve thought of this and comforted myself with the conviction that Mueller’s IT folks have prepared for this contingency in multiple redundant ways.

        Probably thinking their work would be sealed away--but they saw it coming and made copies iirc from @JillWineBanks reminiscences of the era.

        Our country could use more lawyers like professor Cox — and fewer Brett Kavanaughs and Michael Cohens. Thank you, Archie, for reminding us that we are a nation of laws, not men.

        Those three men exhibited courage, honour and decency, the likes of which is very difficult to find anywhere in our political systems today.

        Chief of Staff Alexander Haig sent the FBI to seize special counsel's files that night. Special Counsel deputies stopped the FBI at the Archibald Cox's offices, 45 years ago tonight.

        I wonder if the Nixon faithful at the time complained that everybody was "overreacting"?

        They did, but there were fewer in those days who were willing to sell out every principle for a tax cut and some deregulation.

        I'm so glad to see you posting all no of this material by on be Watergate. I was in my mid 20s during that time. People who I tell about it don't believe me. That was living history. Today is much the same.
