Well yeah, actually I can. How about James McCord? Formerly of the FBI AND CIA, and security coordinator for the RNC and the committee to reelect the president, and watergate burglar.
He was just one of the 5. And of course there's Liddy. And Nixon didn't break in, but after he found out about it he tried to cover it up.

I am demonstrating that in two examples, namely Cunningham and Nixon, the Republicans did not "deny, deny, deny" to the further detriment of the country.

You either don't know your history or you're trying to rewrite it. The whole watergate scandal was a result of republicans trying to "deny deny deny." If Tricky Dick had just come out and said "Hey I just found out these SOB's broke into the democratic headquarters. They've been fired, they'll be prosecuted, and I'm very sorry it happened and I'm gonna make sure stuff like that won' thappen again" he'd have served out his term unmolested. It was the subsequent coverup that got him in such hot water.
BTW I said this about Clinton back when he was impeached. If the dumbass had just come out and either said "Yeah I did it. Sorry." or pulled an LBJ and said "none of your goddamn business if I did it or not" he'd not have been impeached. Politicians on both sides of the fence need to learn that they'll be in a lot less trouble if they just fess up to their failings than if they try and hide them.

You're also hairsplitting over the meaning of "convicted."

No, I'm not. Clinton was never convicted. Everyone knows OJ killed Nicole but he wasn't convicted either. Stating fact is not splitting hairs.

It has been proven that Clinton lied under oath. The Arkansas bar took away his license to practice law. Do you contest either of those?

No, I don't. What I question is why you and others keep bringing Clinton up when someone points out wrongdoing by the current administration. I don't care if Clinton was a serial killer while in office - that wouldn't excuse the current candidate from responsibility for his actions. The fact that you guys keep bringing Clinton up shows me that you KNOW there's no defense for what the Bush administration has done, and you're trying to misdirect people so that they can't SEE that there's no excuse.

Yup.
