Lawfare Before Trump: Geoff Shepard Exposes How the Establishment Used Legal Warfare to Destroy Nixon’s Presidency

Today, the Two Mikes welcomed back Geoff Shepard, who is a
distinguished lawyer and, a half-century ago, was the youngest
lawyer working in President Nixon’s White House. In that position,
he had a birds-eye view of the then unfolding “Water Gate” issue,
which was capped with Nixon’s resignation on 8 August 1974.
Recently, Mr. Shepard has been part of a team which has produced a
new documentary that is primarily based on the three books about
Nixon’s fall that Mr. Shepard has written, each of which is based
on the government papers, personal diaries, and court documents
that he discovered via research and FOIA requests – most of which
have not previously seen the light of day. Mr. Shepard and his team
have now taken all of that work and information and produced a
documentary – running a bit more than an hour -- called
“Watergate’s Secrets and Betrayals Orchestrating Nixon’s Demise”.
It is now available on its own website,
https://www.watergatesecrets.com and can be watched for free. The
film details a process by which the U.S. Department of Justice,
several federal judges, and many anti-Nixon lawyers and mainstream
media did indeed cooperate and conspire to overthrow Nixon. There
surely was a Watergate crime, this film is not denial of that fact.
But the U.S. legal authorities, the NY Times, and the Newsweek and
Time magazines were all virulently anti-Nixon. The DOJ hired a
force of 92 people to set-up Nixon – 60 of them lawyers, 17 of whom
had been DOJ lawyers under John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson -- and
they engaged in a prolonged and surreptitious anti-Nixon campaign
that today would be called “lawfare”, similar to the torturous and
illegal process that Trump has experienced. For example,
prosecutors in the case against Nixon met secretly with judges
overseeing the case and discussed how the trial should be planned
and conducted. The prosecutors, for example, met ten times with
Judge Sirica, the lead judge in the case. Another revealing example
is the Senate’s agreement that the investigation would focus solely
on Nixon’s 1972 election campaign, and would not touch anything
that dealt with the 1968, 1964, and 1960 elections, the latter, of
course, has long been said to have been corrupted in favor of
Kennedy. In sum, these illegal activities can only be seen as a
conspiracy against Nixon, and, for the first time, the American
people can now see how that attack and overthrow on the president
occurred, and the story is told on the basis of unimpeachable
evidence that shows how Nixon’s presidency was scuttled after an
illegal campaign that we know is a process called lawfare.
