The new Teflon don thought he was untouchable but he’s falling just like others before him by the RICO laws made famous in the 80’s by his lawyer and number 2 defendent who is in his 80’s Rudy Guliani.
This was the best quality clip I could find, my apologies.

Nixon was one of the most progressive presidents of his time

He was a paranoiac authoritarian who had no qualms about doing all kinds of illegal shit to stay in power and he got away with it without facing any legal repercussions for those crimes.
This is rightfully his legacy, especially for the GOP who learned a lot from him and he plays a huge part in why the GOP is the way they are today.

In this regard, I agree, he was very progressive for GOP strategy. One Gerald Ford and one Jimmy Carter later and people were ready for 3 more terms of it. The stain of Nixon’s administration washed out rather quickly. His tactics and students live on.

Nixon:
As for your quote, here’s another:
Nixon’s administration saw the largest percentage of black children enrolled in segregated schools in American history. In 1968, 68% of black children in the South were attending all-black schools. By 1974, that number had fallen to 8%.
