On this day in 1973 when talking to a crowd of 400 Associated Press managing editors POTUS Richard Milhous “Tricky Dicky” Nixon in discussing the Watergate scandal said “I am not a crook”…. Yes you were. He would resign from office in August of the following year and due to the pardon he received from POTUS Jerry Ford he didn’t have to stand trial for his crimes.
below is the infamous “I am not a crook” quote- Checkers was long dead so he didn’t mention no matter what they are keeping that dog, the most famous dog in history. The dog that saved his career.
