Former Watergate committee investigator Scott Armstrong told ABC News that Thompson's cooperation with the White House undermined the investigation.

"It was the equivalent of two prosecutors knowing about something and one of them going behind the scenes and telling the person being accused what the witnesses were saying about him," Armstrong said.

Two months after Buzhardt's comments, Nixon resigned. Thompson would later take credit for helping to reveal the secret White House taping system that led to Nixon's downfall.

1. That would be FRED Thompson

I assumed it was .. but it could have been some other Thompson ...

2. Fortunately for America

Somnambulent Fred's candidacy will be over almost before it gets off the ground, but wouldn't it be delicious to see Thompson questioned about this little episode by someone who had the facts at hand?

"Oh sh--, he's dumb as hell. Fred Thompson," Nixon interjects.

4. There is a bright spot to pokey Fred's candidacy.

It will remove this person, whom I find personally disgusting, from a TV series, Law & Order, which I like.
