- Nixon was accused of a number of things but I don't remember him ever being accused
- of embezzling tax money. The crime was a breaking and entering by members of the
- Committee to Reelect the President (CREEP). Breaking and entering is a criminal
- offense and not to be tolerated by any official for any reason. Nixon's tolerance
- of it on the grounds that it was just politics, and his trying to obstruct the
- prosecution of it were what eventually led to his resignation. Whatever you may
- think of Nixon, his policies, or his take on the Watergate break-in, don't think
- that he was defrauding taxpayers and pocketing the money. He wasn't that crooked.
