Reply #209: Now you're just trying to rewrite your own history in your OP.

You OP in its opening paragraph and in its entire paragraph about Nixon specifically referenced Congress and its investigations numerous times (indeed it is the entire heart of your OP) not some "investigation in general". Go back and read it. You erroneously blame that Congress for trying the publilc's patience for "TWO YEARS". Your new attempt to talk about an "investigation in general" is pure B.S. and nonsensical (see below):

You refuse to pay attention to what others said: "By the time the matter was taken up by Congress there had already been an on-going criminal investigation." That was MY point, but you've just cynically misused it as a deceptive half-truth - I specifically pointed out that that criminal investigation and trial had absolutely nothing to do with either Congress or Nixon. The issues were narrowed to convicting the burglars of the crime they committed themselves. Once Congress was aware of a possible connection with Nixon it began its investigations immediately, without any hesitation, in the spring of 2003. How dare you claim that they had any responsibility to investigate something they had absolutely no idea about before that time???

You have simplistically falsified and deliberately distorted the history of Watergate in a specious attempt to support your spineless whimpering about "patience" in your insulting lecture to those of us who have every reason to have run out of patience with the Dem leadership in the current Congress. I have spelled it out to you at some length to point out that the actual facts of the Watergate episode utterly contradict, rather than support, your claims.

Apparently you refuse to learn and refuse to admit that you might just be completely wrong about it all (which in fact you are).

And, for your information, I have not seen any wikipedia articles. I have typed my post purely from my recollections of the events, which are quite good, by the way, as I lived through that time and paid close attention to it all, and have during the past year re-watched an excellent four-hour documentary on the subject several times.
