Tucker Carlson interview: Deepest and Most Explosive Dive into Watergate Ever Done…
… Long and Detailed But Utter Refutation of Nixon's Guilt -Long and the meat is in the second hour
[X] Fifty years to the day after Richard Nixon’s resignation, newly-unearthed documents show Watergate was a scam from start to finish. Geoff Shepard saw it happen. The parallels to what’s currently happening to Trump are remarkable.

Some say another possible similarity.

JFK was assassinated just weeks after deciding NOT to deploy US troops to Vietnam. Then LBJ deployed US troops.

Nixon Admin in the final wind down of US troops in Nam. Watergate during re-election, then impeachment and resignation.

#2 Didn't have time to sit and listen to the whole thing, the guy should write a book and I might read it.

But I'm all too willing to believe that Nixon didn't do anything that was any worse than some of our more recent presidents (cough, cough, baraq) have done. For that matter, he was a breath of fresh air after Lyndon Johnson who, IMHO, is rivaled only by Franklin Roosevelt for that coveted worst president ever spot.

C'mon, people, forget Carter. He might have been evil but he was too soft headed to do anywhere near as much harm as Roosevelt or Johnson.

Of course the media hated Nixon, just like they do Trump. They hated Reagan too but he wore too much teflon for any of it to stick. It's amazing how much influence the media has over the minds of otherwise intelligent people. If you're ever in doubt, just cast your ballot for the guy the media hates.

#3 I read “Silent Coup”, 1992 book by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin., The prevailing narrative is that Nixon and his high-ranking associates covered up a 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters in the Watergate Complex …] Colodny and Gettlin contend that former White House counsel John Dean orchestrated the 1972 Watergate burglary. His motive was argued to have been to protect his future wife Maureen Biner by removing information linking her to a call-girl ring that worked for the DNC.

The interview with Tucker provided the stone-cold proof of the assertion, as Shepard confirms that the anteroom to Larry O’Briens office had the only phone on a small desk that was NOT linked through the DNC switchboard. The assertion was that the photo album in the desk was a visual menu of the prostitutes the DNC had on call for major donors or players, and John Deans future wife, Mo, was among the attractions.
Shepard confirmed in the Tucker interview that one of the Cuban burglars had a key to that desk as well as the phone number to that specific phone. During the arrest he attempted to swallow the key to hide it.
Shepard makes it clear that Dean orchestrated the whole thing, guided the cover-up from his position as White House Counsel, and when confronted, flipped on everybody, and escaped any actual incarceration.
Fascinating story about an innocent President forced from office by a massively corrupt judicial process.
