Never give in when there is no direct evidence against you. No one should "ever" do that. Don't negotiate, don't settle, but most importantly, don't quit. When you resign, you give credibility for the civil cases against you.
Even in an impeachment, they have to "prove" their case.
So Nixon should just have hung in there?
No. He was sure to be convicted. He was dead bang guilty with a smoking gun. The August 1974 transcript released by his White House proved obstruction. No his word against somebody else's word. Resigning gave him the chance he needed to survive.
