Most Americans know Fred Thompson as a lawyer, recognizing him as the minority counsel to the Watergate Commission or as District Attorney Arthur Branch on the television show "Law & Order." In real life, Thompson was 17 years old when he first imagined himself in a courtroom.

ABC's Charles Gibson spoke with Thompson as part of a new series called "Who Is," which features one interview a week with a presidential candidate from now until December, with the focus on their private lives.

"People forget that it was an investigation into all the presidential activities of that year. There were some other presidential candidates whose people had trouble," Thompson said. "It was small stuff compared to Nixon, because he was the president, for one thing. But it was a broader inquiry, and the Democratic staff on the committee did nothing with regard to that other part of the investigation that was supposed to be carrying on.

Wow, what a shock. (/s)

Thanks for the ping.

Very compelling story. The more I hear Fred the more I like him.

It was pretty shallow. But, at least, they didn’t sneak in a hit.
