BUT....for new students in U.S. History.....................short lesson time,,,,very short....

Two of Nixon's closest advisors, Haldeman, and Earlichmann did get some prison time, as did the ATTY GENERAL John Mitchel.......

H.R. Haldeman...18 months prison time'
John Mitchel....19 months prison time.
John Ehrlichman .....18 months prison time...

conclusion...Nixon was never convicted of being ...a crook, but his 3 closest advisors were convicted and served prison time for various crimes and they were ..." proven crooks "
