The world’s most punchable face. Then again, I wouldn’t want to break the fragile little leftist commie pinko.

Once again here are people who play act for a living telling everyone else what to do.

I find that very odd.

The American people were gas-lighted regarding Watergate. Same as with the Plandemic.

The vax isn’t the news here IMHO. The leftist ‘mania’ over Watergate, they’ll never let it die. This new series on Watergate is definitely the proverbial squirrel we’re supposed to watch and forget the 100 times worse election-gate and spygate.

JOB APPLICATION

Have you ever had an abortion, voluntarily paid for an abortion, encouraged a person to have an abortion, voted for a political candidate because the candidate favored abortion, or voted against a candidate because the candidate would restrict abortion access?

Is an unborn baby’s life something the American legal system should protect insomuch as practical?

I’m not sure if such questions are legal or not.

DEAR SOCIAL SECURITY APPLICANT

Our records indicate that Hartford Health Insurance paid for an elective abortion on your behalf.

Your benefits will be docked for X years to account for the likely loss of your aborted baby’s FICA tax contributions.

From Wikipedia:

Martha Elizabeth Beall Mitchell (September 2, 1918 – May 31, 1976) was the wife of John N. Mitchell, United States Attorney General under President Richard Nixon.

After graduation, she worked for about a year as a seventh-grade teacher in Mobile, Alabama, before leaving the profession, saying she “despised” it.

She once said as soon as she met John N. Mitchell, she was “impressed with his suaveness and intellect,” and the couple married on December 30, 1957, settling in Rye, New York. John worked as a lawyer in Manhattan, earning US$250,000 a year, and the couple purchased a home on the grounds of the Apawamis Club. On January 10, 1961, the couple had a daughter, Martha Elizabeth, whom they nicknamed Marty. They enrolled their daughter in Stone Ridge Country Day School in Bethesda, Maryland, despite not being Roman Catholics, because of Mitchell’s belief that “the Roman Catholic schools are about the only ones that have discipline.”

John Mitchell and Richard Nixon’s professional careers converged when, on New Year’s Eve 1966, their law offices combined to become Nixon Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander and Mitchell.

Her reputation for frank and uncensored talk, generally in support of Republican issues, led to her being nicknamed “Martha the Mouth” or “The Mouth of the South”.

Mitchell made a late-night phone call to Helen Thomas of the United Press, reportedly Mitchell’s favorite reporter. Mitchell informed Thomas of her intention to leave her husband until he resigned from the CRP. The phone call, however, abruptly ended. When Thomas called back, the hotel operator told her that Mitchell was “indisposed” and would not be able to talk. Thomas then called John, who seemed unconcerned and said, “[Martha] gets a little upset about politics, but she loves me and I love her and that’s what counts.” In her subsequent report of the incident, Thomas said that it was apparent someone had taken the phone from Mitchell’s hand and the woman could be heard saying “You just get away.” Thomas’s account was widely covered in the news, and many media outlets made efforts to find Mitchell for an interview. A few days later, Marcia Kramer, a veteran crime reporter of the New York Daily News, tracked Mitchell to the Westchester Country Club in Rye, New York. Kramer found “a beaten woman” who had “incredible” black and blue marks on her arms.

In May 1973, she provided sworn testimony in a deposition at the offices of attorney Henry B. Rothblatt in connection with the Democratic party’s US$6.4 million civil suit against the CRP. The Mitchells would ultimately separate in September 1973, with John suddenly moving out of the family home with their daughter, Marty. On January 1, 1975, he was convicted of perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy for his involvement in the Watergate break-in; he served 19 months in a federal prison. They never saw each other again.

Because of her involvement in the scandal, she was discredited and abandoned by most of her family, except for her son Jay.

In 1975, Mitchell fell sick. As her health declined, she was called on by a small circle of friends that included her reporter friend, and eventual biographer, Winzola McLendon. McLendon reports that Mitchell was suicidal and without any income.

On May 31, 1976,in the advanced stages of multiple myeloma, Mitchell slipped into a coma and died at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York City at age 57.

Isn’t conspiracy to violate federal law a felony?

Well Mitchell was known for smoking a pipe. I bet Spicoli hit the pipe often too.

Or rapid aging. Dude can’t be more than 60 but he looks about 80. Like a horse saddle rode hard and hung up wet.

A few excerpts from Wikipedia:

[John] Mitchell practiced law in New York City from 1938 until 1969 with the firm of Rose, Guthrie, Alexander and Mitchell and earned a reputation as a successful municipal bond lawyer. Richard Nixon was a partner in the firm from 1963 to 1968.

Mitchell devised a type of revenue bond called a “moral obligation bond” while serving as bond counsel to New York’s governor Nelson Rockefeller in the 1960s. In an effort to get around the voter approval process for increasing state and municipal borrower limits, Mitchell attached language to the offerings that was able to communicate the state’s intent to meet the bond payments while not placing it under a legal obligation to do so.

Near the beginning of his administration, Nixon had ordered Mitchell to go slow on desegregation of schools in the South as part of Nixon’s “Southern Strategy,” which focused on gaining support from Southern voters. After being instructed by the federal courts that segregation was unconstitutional and that the executive branch was required to enforce the rulings of the courts, Mitchell began to comply, threatening to withhold federal funds from those school systems that were still segregated and threatening legal action against them.

...some 70% of black children were still attending segregated schools in 1968. By 1972, this percentage had decreased to 8%. Enrollment of black children in desegregated schools rose from 186,000 in 1969 to 3 million in 1970.

He called for the use of “no-knock” warrants for police to enter homes, frisking suspects without a warrant, wiretapping, preventive detention, the use of federal troops to repress crime in the capital, a restructured Supreme Court, and a slowdown in school desegregation.

In July 1973 Mitchell testified before the Senate Watergate Committee where he claimed he had no prior knowledge of the Watergate break in which was contradicted the testimony of others who appeared before the committee. He admitted that he was briefed on January 27, 1972, while he was the Attorney General, by G. Gordon Liddy on Operation Gemstone which proposed numerous illegal activities to support the reelection of President Nixon including the use of prostitutes, kidnapping and assaulting antiwar protestors. Mitchell testified he should have thrown Liddy “out of the window”. Jeb Stuart Magruder and John Dean testified to the committee that Mitchell later approved electronic surveillance (i.e. bugging telephones) but did not approve of the other proposed activities.

On February 21, 1975, Mitchell, who was represented by the criminal defense attorney William G. Hundley, was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury and sentenced to two and a half to eight years in prison for his role in the Watergate break-in and cover-up, which he dubbed the “White House horrors.” As a result of the conviction, Mitchell was disbarred from the practice of law in New York. The sentence was later reduced to one to four years by United States district court Judge John J. Sirica. Mitchell served only 19 months of his sentence at Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery (in Maxwell Air Force Base) in Montgomery, Alabama, a minimum-security prison, before being released on parole for medical reasons.

Around 5:00 pm on November 9, 1988, Mitchell collapsed from a heart attack on the sidewalk in front of 2812 N Street NW in the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C., and died that evening at George Washington University Hospital. He was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery, based on his World War II Naval service and his cabinet post of Attorney General.

He was portrayed by E. G. Marshall in Oliver Stone’s 1995 film Nixon.

He was portrayed by John Doman in the 2020 film The Trial of the Chicago 7.
