Nixon was "in the system" but he was never "of the system", and that's all the difference in the world. I've always favored this quote--in his own words--as the most telling of that fact:
If you're looking into Nixon and that time period, another little angle you may want to toss into that dumpster fire of "history" is the fact that the Pentagon did not trust him and was spying on him (quelle surprise!):
The Atlantic's spin, of course, is just more Nixon blackwashing, but you can gain insight by reading carefully. Take a look at this quote:
In his 1976 memoir, On Watch, Admiral Zumwalt lamented "the deliberate, systematic and, unfortunately, extremely successful efforts of the President, Henry Kissinger, and a few subordinate members of their inner circle to conceal, sometimes by simple silence, more often by articulate deceit, their real policies about the most critical matters of national security." Scarcely alone in his views, Zumwalt marveled "that rational men could think that running things like that could have any other result than 'leaks' and 'spying' and all-around paranoia." Indeed, he said, "they had created a system in which 'leaks' and 'spying' were everyday and essential elements."
I read this as an excellent illustration of the mindset of Deep Staters: To themselves and each other, they are the true heroes of this story. They are the rational ones, the patriotic, those who have the will to do that which is necessary, which they must do in secret because (the unspoken part) the masses could not possibly understand.
It never, ever occurs to all these Deep State types that if they were elected President, they would not tolerate Pentagram fuckwads who were certain they knew better spying on and undermining them.
Especially when you hear the story of the 1960 stolen election, how the Chicago democrats delayed reporting, how the initial audit said "looks suspicious" how the GoP said "just wait for another audit" and then "well, JFK is inaugarated now, let's not rock the boat"
The CIA/FBI were into some despicable business back then. Thankfully, they don't do that anymore /s
Growing up in a liberal hellscape in the 80s and 90s, all you ever heard was how Nixon was evil. Vietnam was a huge mistake, and opening up China (with Kissinger, rest in piss) was probably worse. But Nixon wasn't the evil incarnate that we were led to believe.

And thank God someone high-profile is finally exposing that smug Intel cockroach Bob Woodward.

Jesus. He lived in rockefeller's building in 67,68. Kissinger was rocky's eyes and ears.
