Doesn't matter. It set the precedent that the president is above the law that the Supreme Court has verified.

Not so. The tapes were a major fight at the time and the court sided with the prosecutor. (Hell, even Steven Segal finally used "no one was above the law" and turned it into a shitty picture in the late 80's).
Somewhere in the early 2000's, I watched an interview with an old soviet politician (apparachik perhaps) about communism's fall in the USSR. During one segment, he told how they were sure that during Watergate the whole incident of impeachment would divide among party lines and prove the failure of capitalism (parties protecting party members) in soviets eyes. He described how shocked they were that both parties moved toward the impeachment - not what they had expected at all.
It's only recently, since someone found a pubic hair in his coke that the court became corrupt.

Nixon was going to be charged with 3 counts of obstruction of justice among other things. He would have spent no less than 15 years in prison.
Ford's pardon ended that. Nixon's claim in those cases, that so long as the president does it, it's not a crime, is the very same argument used in the case at the Supreme Court that they verified.
That is why we are where we are. It is literally irrefutable.
