13. I was

in my 20's during the Nixon Watergate mess. The Nixon White House did EVERYTHING it could to keep people from testifying, claiming executive privilege, attorney/client rights, etc.
The cool thing (and this could be a BIG difference!) was that the head of the investigating committee was a Republican, just like NIXON!
Hmmmmmmm, what Republican would you count on now?

(DAMN, I can't find that little "hands on his hips, toe-tapping guy!)
