    Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew were both reelected against George McGovern and Sergeant Shriver in a landslide election. Neither Nixon or Agnew would be in office past 1974, largely, at least in Nixon’s case, he had operatives break into the Democratic National Committee’s offices at the Watergate in Washington, DC. At the time, it sounded unbelievable, but, within a year or so, it went from unbelievable to probable. Agnew would resign because of income tax evasion, something that Nixon had also done. When Nixon gave his infamous “I am not a crook” speech, it wasn’t about Watergate, it was about how he claimed that he had only owed about $6000 in about $750,000 income over a 3 year period and he was being audited by the Internal Revenue Service.
