Shepard in his book The Nixon Conspiracy reveals an episode fully as shocking as anything in this article, namely the secret meeting(s) between Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and Chief Judge of the D.C. Appeals Court David Bazelon to fix the handling of appeals from Judge Sirica's rulings.

"Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light." -- George Washington

It may take two lifetimes, though.

Yet much of what Woodward and Bernstein did was print leaks from the disgruntled FBI associate director, Mark Felt,

And of course, the FBI has been using corrupt media to meddle in elections for 50 years, at least.

The hero of Watergate was G. Gordon Liddy.

Mark Felt was a bitter cork soaker for being passed over for head of the FBI.

I was 30 years old when Watergate went down. The memory in my mind is still very vivid. What the media, the left, and the deep state did to Trump failed. What they did to Nixon obviously worked. They believed they could use the same playbook with Trump.

What a bunch of crooks and slime. I rob a bank and go to jail if caught. The Wapo and the two reporters rob us, the American people, of our right to choice of leadership and they wind a Pulitzer prize.

So much for fair!

Watergate was a Deep State takedown of a presidency.

Nixon’s team was paranoid for no reason. Was an easy re-election and they didn’t need to pull all the dirty tricks to beat the far left chaotic Dems as voting was required to be in person and with IDs.

Deep State took out Kennedy, Nixon, and tried to do the same to Trump.

Washington Post reporters. You have to wonder how much they fabricated.

Richard Nixon provided munitions and supplies to Israel during the Yom Kippur war of 1973. Without his aid, there would be no Israel. I doubt that either Carter or Obama would have lifted a finger to help Israel.

Richard Nixon brought the troops home from Vietnam with honor and victory. It is not his fault that a Democratic party-controlled Congress abandoned South Vietnam, thereby guaranteeing its defeat.

Nixon saved Israel and South Vietnam. No one has a kind word for the man.

Shepard’s books on Watergate detail extensive misconduct by the Watergate prosecutors and defense team, coordinated by Ted Kennedy behind the scenes. Some of the key players were ones Attorney General Robert Kennedy had previously used on his “Get Hoffa” and “Get Cohn” squads, and the game plan was the same Ted Kennedy would later use against other targets such as Clarence Thomas. Spygate was the same tactic applied against Trump, and it is no coincidence that Carl Bernstein was involved in CNN’s initial reporting on the Steele Dossier.

Bob Woodward: The CNN story was ‘exactly right’
New Day
By Melissa Mahtani, CNN
Published 2:35 PM EST, Tue January 17, 2017

Legendary journalist Bob Woodward said that CNN’s reporting on a summary of classified information presented to Donald Trump was “exactly right” and it “clearly is news” that intelligence chiefs presented the information to the President-elect. . .

Woodward was joined for the interview by fellow award-winning Watergate scandal reporter, Carl Bernstein, a CNN Political contributor who co-bylined the original CNN report on the documents.

Using the word “heroes” in a story about Woodward and Bernstein is enough to induce a gag reflex.

The January 6 committee Democrats with its two rinos are again working hand-in-hand with Garland’s Department of Justice to destroy Trump as a legal candidate and tyrannize the whole of the Trump base by exchanging information, this time by the committee handing over information to the Attorney General.

It’s almost certain that the flow of information is going the other way as well.

One can only wonder whether the leftist federal judges sitting in the DC circuit today are colluding with Garland as did the special Watergate counsel Jaworski with judge Sirica. How much scrutiny can judge Sullivan bear of his conduct in general Flynn’s case?

Of course, Woodward and Bernstein should be exposed and bitch-slapped at every opportunity, but the real story here is not their perversion of journalistic standards but the frightening corruption of our justice system.

The dems never forgave Nixon for his role in the exposure and conviction of Alger Hiss. Their dagger found its mark in Watergate.

Excellent book by Len Colodny.... all about the coup d’état that eventually took Nixon out.

Congratulations Woodward & Bernstein, your fake reporting led to the deaths of millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians.

Hope you sleep well tonight.

Meanwhile, MSM fake news on Trump has led to tens of thousands of deaths in Afghanistan and Ukraine and possibly far more in Taiwan.

Obama killed millions. Trump saved lives.

Tell it to your maker. He already knows.

Marking, so I can read. Yesterday, Woodward & Bernstein said cr*p about Trump. Glad the truth about those miscreants is coming out.
