"Shepard has uncovered some truly interesting and disturbing new information about the unethical ways in which the prosecutors and judges conducted themselves behind the scenes of the central Watergate trials. Watergate takes on a new meaning with Shepard's book. It now can be seen as part of a initiative to reverse an election by improper, highly questionable and unacceptable conduct, driven by a few very talented exceptionally trained people to reverse a popular election. It worked but should not have ."
Any single one of the nearly countless Obama scandals is far worse than Watergate, which demonstrates how low the federal government has sunk in 40+ years.
The Left never forgave Nixon for outing Alger Hiss
Nixon’s crime was defeating McGovern in a national landslide. None of the liberals in the media knew anyone who voted for him. Clearly he must have stolen the election and had to be taken out.

And the actions of the democrats in the senate and the left wing media in taking down Senator Joe McCarthy were just as bad
I wonder if that snake, Mark Felt, will be mentioned. It is his treachery that destroyed so much, and his worthless hide came out intact.
Watergate was a well orchestrated witch-hunt. They had to be ready for this, just waiting for something to let things spring into action.
LBJ’s administration, nor Kennedy’s were bastions of integrity. I bet Nixon was probably better than LBJ honestly.
Watergate was a well placed dagger at the heart of America. It doomed Southeast Asia, vindicating the radical left, and forever tarnished the “Silent Majority” of Middle America that carried him to victory.
This book convinced G. Gordon Liddy that the lone author of the Watergate breakin was none other than John Dean, and considering that Liddy went to jail over his own role in the affair his opinion didn't come lightly.
The co-authors, political liberals and no fans of Nixon, began writing their book as a "harmony" of Watergate memoirs- an attempt to take all the accounts by the principals involved and try to make sense of them.
Ironically they began with John Dean as their outside adviser. As time went on they noticed some evidence pointing towards Dean; and when they asked him what it meant Dean turned hostile, which didn't answer their questions but did whet their appetite for answers. By the time they finished their book they were convinced that Dean had hatched the burglary all on his own, and it all began as a plan for hiding the past of his girlfriend/wife Mo Biner, who had once been a callgirl working out of the DNC offices.
Apparently it’ll be on C-Span 2 at that hour . . .
A previous book by Shepard “The Plot to Make Teddy Kennedy President” shows that a lot of the motive for taking down Nixon was because the Kennedy forces felt it was Teddy’s turn after the deaths of JFK and Bobby - many of the people involved in working against Nixon were Kennedy clan loyalists and holdovers in government acting supposedly to bring him to justice while twisting the law and procedures to destroy him instead....
Hitlery! cut her teeth on this.
