Fred Thompson lived an amazing life being involved in the Senate Watergate hearings and getting MSM attention for being the chief Republican lawyer on the Sam Ervin led committee with Tennessee Republican Establishment icon Howard Baker as the ranking GOP member.
That opened the door to an acting career for Fred.
Thompson’s work for GOPe leaders like Howard Baker and Lamar Alexander opened the door for his political career as a US Senator and spoiler presidential candidate in 2008 to help John McCain win the nomination.
God Bless those who were close to Fred Thompson and who are grieving for his loss.
Yep, the Man Who Brought Down Nixon.
He was my guy in 2008. Guess I’ll fire up “Red October” tonight...
