situation is quite a bit different among the 3 people you reference in all that because yeah davey l had an affair but end of the day that was two consenting adults and lots of people have had affairs and gone on to be otherwise cool people so there's some sympathy there. billy cos drugged and raped multiple women over the course of a decade or more. not too many stories of those sorts of folks generally turning out okay. dicky nix ordered sunglasses-at-night thugs to break and enter his enemies' HQ, most people when they think of that sort of behavior think of v bad hombres like mafia dons. you're not wrong that a lot of guilty people overestimate the severity of their crimes and make them worse by continuing to lie but dicky nix and billy cos had pretty goddamn good reasons to lie. the real reason obstruction comes up so much in presidential impeachment proceedings is because it's easier to prove than a lot of other crimes and because that's the thing that actively makes more work for congress. the real instrument of impeachment is for congress to check the president, so don't fool yourself into thinking it's some sort of populist proceeding or whatever, it's specifically the president pissing off congress and congress pissing on him in return.
