An aging judge about to step down. Aggressive prosecutors friendly with the judge. A disgraced president. A nation that had already made up its mind....

The Watergate trials were a legal mess - and now, with the discovery of new documents that reveal shocking misconduct by prosecutors and judges alike, former Nixon staffer Geoff Shepard has a convincing case that the wrongdoing of these history-making trials was actually a bigger scandal than the Watergate scandal itself.

Read some reviews saying they couldn’t get passed chapter 1 or 2. Good grief, people’s attention span has certainly declined (Instagramers?) I’m no legal mind here but still was able to comprehended how laws were broken by these federal judges and prosecutors.

Doesn’t matter whether you liked Nixon or not; whether you think he did wrong or not (compared to what some politicians get away today, Nixon’s so-called crime is more like spilled milk)…one thing all Americans should be able to rely on is a solid federal court system that follows the laws. Unfortunately they failed us then and since. And we see those repercussions today. Federal courts blatantly overreaching, interfering, and exuding biases.

Book is not long and doesn’t repeat the details of the events that most adults my age know about.
It was enjoyable and to the point.

Interesting......Nixon did the right thing .

When the author stuck to provable fact, the story made sense, and he made some arguments that I had not considered before. But when he tried to take jabs at other politicians because his pride was hurt, I lost all respect. This is an interesting Listen if it’s something in the background while you’re working that you’re not particularly paying attention to. But if you’re looking to learn, probably go somewhere else.

When the author stuck to the fact, it was interesting.

Shepard does a fantastic job weaving his research into the narrative of Watergate in a way to reframe, what I had assumed, was a settled matter.

Convincing evidence of a conspiracy against the Nixon administration

Liked that points of law well explained.
Better would have references to tables in book made visible.
