In reply to the discussion: The Nixon Tapes: 1971-1972 [View all]hifiguy
(33,688 posts)30. I was thunderstruck the first time I read the Anna Chennault story
a few years back. Nixon should have been jailed for treason for that alone. (Can't remember, was Kissinger involved in that one too? Even if he wasn't, as my old dad used to say of liars, Kissinger was so crooked they will have to screw him into the ground when he finally dies).
No, Nixon had nothing to do with LBJ's death. LBJ had his first major heart attack back in the Fifties. He mentioned on several occasions that he would not live past 65 as heart problems killed his father and his paternal grandfather at the same age. And the same thing got LBJ at the same age. Genetics killed Johnson.
