The evidence of Nixon's complicity in the planning of Watergate, all the while maintaining the CIA-standard doctrine of "plausible deniability," is not seriously disputed by historians of the period. In fact, the weight of the case against Nixon is as close to overwhelming as historians ever see for most events in the past.Then again, we still have some folks who claim that The Holocaust never happened either.
A ringing "Yeah, right!" on both counts.
All the best,
