From the revelation of the taping system in 1973 until his death, Nixon argued that his reasons for taping were historical.
OR
Nixon listed several reasons behind his decision to record his conversations. The primary reasons were administrative and historical, part of the president's desire to make his administration "the best chronicled in history."
The U.S Supreme Court
Certain communications with the president are confidential.
President Nixon shared most of the past US presidents' beliefs about the expansion of executive privilege. On the whole, the power of the US presidency has had an expanding role in US politics since the early years of Jefferson.
Nixon was caught in a lie and cover up concerning the Watergate break in. He had tape recorders in the Oval Office and the tapes showed how involved he was in the plan and coverup. They were taped conversations between him and Dean, Colson, and others.
Lyndon Johnson taped as many conversations as possible so that he could document as much of his presidency as possible. He was concerned with his own legacy after stepping in as President after John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
John Dean. Today (2012), Mr. Dean is still alive and is the author of several non-fiction books about politics.
Watergate. Nixon sent in burglars into the Watergate building where the democratic headquarters was located. A security guard found them by noticing a piece of masking tape on the door jam. Nixon was able to hide his relationship with the burglars until it was discovered that his instructions had been taped in the Oval Office. Two investigative journalists were told about the taped conversations and were able to uncover the plot. Not long after in an interview with David Frost Nixon stated that the president was "above the law" and laws didn't apply to him.
