As weird as it seems (to me anyway) there has always been a group of conservative republicans who maintain that Nixon did nothing wrong and all of the restrictions on the president passed then are inappropriate.

One of them, Roger Stone, worked on the trump campaign and has a Nixon tattoo on his back.
The Trump/Nixon connection is deep:

> Stone was found guilty of obstruction of a congressional investigation, five counts of making false statements to Congress, and tampering with a witness
And then pardoned by Trump
Stone was also involved in the Brooks riot helping getting bush the win. Amy Coney Barret and other supreme judges appointed by Trump were involved in the lawsuit brought to the supreme court.
It's the same fucking people.
ACB, Kavanaugh, and Roberts were all on Bush's legal team for Bush v. Gore. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/17/politics/bush-v-gore-barrett-...
It's only weird if you believe they hold their stated values. If instead you infer their values from their actions and extrapolate forwards, you haven't been surprised in 50 years.
Not weird at all.
Of course they didn't want us to see that evidence for ourselves, or have any hearings whatsoever.
