She never passed the DC or Virginia bar. Not having a license to practice law made her an even bigger liability. She and Bill passed the Arkansas bar but he lost his license.

Thanks.

Do they cover the same material, or do you think I need to go back and read the first one?

Yup that was his mistake, he should have acted more like a democrat and threw them under the bus.🙄

I remember President Nixon’s remark to the ‘media’: “You bastards won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore!”

I, for one, thought that the Congress should have been pinning medals on Nixon and all of his staff. They were, after all, trying to keep a known communist out of the White House.

Nixon was an excellent president: he was attacked by the Left because he was a Republican and because they wanted the Communists to win in Vietnam. The playbook was the same one they tried to use on President Trump (and Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford,and the Bushes) but it failed.

People who don't know enough routinely dismiss Nixon without learning what he accepted when he assumed the presidency: a long-distance war against a fanatic Communist enemy, a well-orchestrated pro-enemy movement at home (fully supported by the Democrats and the media), a massively expensive Space Race, a huge Civil Rights crisis, a full-on Cold War which almost went hot twice before under Kennedy, huge inflation, Israel under the gun, etc. etc.

But Nixon dealt effectively with all of those issues and would have held Vietnam free - as he did during the 1973 Easter Offensive - by bombing the living crap out of the NVA when they violated the Cease Fire - but the Democrats and their Leftist influencers got him out of office.

Trump turned out to be a much tougher nut to crack, Thank God.

Rosemary Woods said she was responsible for 6 minutes of 18.5 minutes of Nixon’s deleted recordings.

Who was in charge of these tapes when they were turned over?
Ive read that the tapes had nixon discussing corruption in arkansas but I dont know the truth about it

Nixon will go down as one of the worst Presidents, just for helping communist China with trade and growth.

I haven't yet read the latest book, but Shepard said that it covers new material that was only recently disclosed. His 2019 book made a strong case that there were illegal ex partemeetings between the investigators and the judges.

Shepard's first book on the subject, The Secret Plot to Make Ted Kennedy President: Inside the Real Watergate Conspiracy (New York: Sentinel, 2008) is also worth reading.

In the battle between Nixon and Democrats, Nixon won.

While the Democrats ruined Nixon's political career, Nixon struck back brilliantly from near exile status.

Nixon, without political power as a civilian, opened Communist China and normalized relations and trade, ostensibly to rehabilitate his reputation as a statesman.

China did the rest over four decades, using long existing Democrat Corruption to take ownership of the Democrat Party and the Deep Swamp.

One has to wonder if Nixon did this on purpose, he had to know the Chinese Communist was as corrupt as humanly possible, and the American Left would sell their soul.
