Nixon said, "if the president does it, it's not illegal" after his impeachment and resignation.
I believe he really believed that. He thought he was above the law and thus wasn't guilty of anything.
He was an extremely smart man and pushed forth some good policies, in my opinion.
But, Nixon was also paranoid and viewed as enemies the Democrats, the media, those in the Justice Department who were doing their jobs rather than violating their oaths to loyally cover his ass...
