Monday, August 5, 1974. Inescapable conclusions.

The White House released transcripts of subpoenaed tape recordings.  The tapes demonstrated that President Nixon and his chief of staff H.R. Haldeman had discussed a plan in June 1972 to use the CIA to thwart the FBI’s Watergate investigation.   They also showed that Nixon had ordered the FBI to halt investigation of the Watergate matter.

Nixon then issued a statement acknowledging guilt, and that matters would go to the Senate for an impeachment trial.  Congressional supporters of Nixon began to rapidly change their view.

The first Tank McNamara comic strip was printed.
