Having re-read The Final Days recently, I think the difference is one of degree. Nixon didn't have the ability to get away with stuff like this or he would have tried it. He faced a congress that wasn't an organized gang ready to do his bidding. If things had been different, he was every bit as devious as these bastards and a bit more vicious as well.
