So basicly, Nixon did what was best for the country's security.

As you all know, we were still in the Cold War with the USSR, and there were alot of rivalries on different matters. Politics was one of those. We both had satelites in orbit by that time, but ours were far more advanced. The US had the technology to capture audio from anywhere on earth, from their satelite.

They used this to get the discussions between Brezhnev, and two other high soviet officials, one suspected to be Vladimirovich Andropov, (Who took over the CC after Brezhnev).

The democrats had these in their room at watergate, and were planning on using them for their politcal use, to gain support. The tapes were kept in the DNC, which were stolen when the five men broke into the watergate complex.

Why wouldn't Nixon turn them over? He knew what they said and if they got out into public, and the Ruskies found out we had the audio conversations between two big-shots cruising around Moscow in that private limo, what would they have done?
