Geoff Shepard--Was Nixon Set-up? #2744

Geoff Shepard reveals never-before-seen Watergate materials exposing the complete breakdown of the legal system

Shocking violations of ethical and legal standards colored the proceedings of the Watergate trial. Watergate’s judges and prosecutors were supposed to be unbiased mediators and protectors of the Constitution. Instead they were highly partisan Democrats who criminalized politics and went after Nixon “at all costs.” Carl Bernstein famously said of the Watergate trial: “The system worked.” New discoveries by Geoff Shepard, once the youngest lawyer of Nixon’s defense team, show how the prosecutors abused the system to rig the outcome.
