I don't see that Nixon had access to the confidences of any sponsors. And he and his careeer do not strike me as particularly worthy of any confidences either. Nixon was a man who knew where the action was and who the important players were and he sought their patronage. He was and remained an outsider. Sure, he benefitted personally and he may have had a lot of useful information. But again, he didn't place LHO in the book depository or get him in and out of the USSR. Ultimately he was dispensable. As was LBJ. Just another pawn on the chessboard.
