I was a bit hesitant to watch this series, solely because it's produced by CNN. Nowadays, you can't really trust any one news network, solely because each produces their own narrative, manipulating facts to get viewers to think a certain way. Any learned and curious individual these days has to sample news from a wide range of sources to piece together the truth like solving a puzzle. Nevertheless, I am judging this production on the recordings of Nixon that are peppered through this 4-part series. I learned a little more about Richard Nixon than I really cared to. The missing tapes, the deleted 18 minutes from another tape, the obstruction of justice, were all clear signs of how low that a President of the United States is willing to go to maintain power. Impeachment doesn't mean anything. Because a President can easily resign to avoid any legal repercussions. One can lie, cheat, mislead, maybe even have people killed off if it's needed, and there will always more hurdles and barriers for justice than criminal actions.
