over the top for sure. but you know what? just today we found out how permanent dictabelt tape could turn out to be. look. page ten, footnote 5.2, dictabelt recording of the president s recollections of 1973 and transcript thereof. that s part of this document, which was just unsealed for the first time. it s from 1974, the year that richard nixon resigned the presidency. and this document, which we the people are just seeing for the first time ever today, this document is basically the reason why nixon resigned the presidency. and so the release of this document for the first time, this is a big deal for historians and anybody interested in watergate. this is something we ve been waiting 44 1/2 years to see. but this was also released right now for a reason, and with implications that are absolutely, positively 100% not about richard nixon, and that old scandal that ended his
it s a mailable, fileable, permanent record that cannot be erased or changed. the dictabelt. that ad campaign was a little over the top for sure. but you know what? just today we found out how permanent dictabelt tape could turn out to be. look. page ten, footnote 5.2, dictabelt recording of the president s recollections of march 21st, 1973, and transcript thereof. that s part of this document, which was just unsealed for the first time. it s from 1974, the year that richard nixon resigned the presidency. and this document, which we the people are just seeing for the first time ever today, this document is basically the reason why nixon resigned the presidency. and so, the release of this document for the first time, this is a big deal for historians and anybody interested in watergate. this is something we ve been waiting 44 1/2 years to see. but this was also released right now for a reason, and with
