Why did he obey and turn over the tapes? Because "courts made him"? Nixon just followed the law in the end. I'm afraid Trump won't be so gullible. 
I guess my question would be, what would have happened if Nixon had just said that's privileged, so no, you do not get the tapes? Would the marshals have come?

As stated, I feel Trump already breaks an unequivocally written law and nothing seems to happen. And lo and behold, there's already a memo or something that states that executive privilege superseeds the law. If that is true, I wouldn't know. Is it?

Seems like you're try quite hard to make this about one particular POTUS instead of the title you proposed. Of course that could just be my defense mechanism kicking in.
