That was Nixon. Numerous co-conspirators went to jail. Nixon probably would have gotten off if it were not for the Pentagon Papers and so many in government (ie entire Supreme Court) that made it obvious his credibility was non-existent.
Even the Sec of Defense order the Joint Chiefs to ignore any order given by that president to go to war unless confirmed by the Secretary. Even Nixon's state of mind had become that unstable. The reasons for impeachment must be that massively beyond criminality - according to history.
