Why? • Why would I show these videos? • To not show boring history, to show history that should be interesting and exciting • For Psychology? • To show that people like Nixon and presidents that might come, that their perspective of what they did was never illegal. • Exact line: "When the President does it, that means that it's not illegal." • Another: “I have made so many bad judgments. The worst ones was mistakes of the heart not the head as I’ve point out, but let me say a man in that top job, he’s got to have a heart, but his head must always rule his heart.”
