No, Nixon participated in a clearly criminal act and then worked to cover it up. If lying for lying’s sake alone were a criminal offense, .8 of hate radio and all of FOX news would be on death row.
Poor, stupid Nixon was betrayed by his crooked lawyer, who launched Watergate to check up on his then-girlfriend. If he had only known the truth he surely would have opposed the cover-up. But the cover-up was a crime, on a par with Obama’s misuse of the IRS to constrain his political opponents.
