The Trump 45 administration was arranged around protecting Trump's ability to do crimes.

The Trump 47 administration is much more aggressively committed to delegitimizing the whole *ideas* of crime and corruption for politicians.

The writers are not subtle
Just over the last few months:
- DOJ begins review of whether Nixon was a victim
- WH pardon attorney says Watergate was a CIA “hoax”
- WH chief of protocol says Nixon was the “target of a Deep State hoax”
- Vance celebrates Nixon “renaissance,” dismisses Watergate

basically it is a very good time to be a corrupt politician or one who committed some of the same kinds of crimes Trump himself has committed, because of course all such convictions are Deep State Weaponization blah blah blah.

Nixon would be the crown jewel of that approach.
