This chapter explores the Watergate scandal, focusing on the investigations led by a special prosecutor that transformed a minor burglary into a sweeping inquiry into Nixon's administration. It investigates the motivations and biases of the lawyers involved, the intricacies of legal proceedings, and the perceived injustices that emerged during the trials. Additionally, the chapter reflects on the historical implications of lawfare and the persistent issues of transparency and accountability in the legal system.
Former Nixon White House staffer Geoff Shepard has uncovered new evidence that Watergate was a deep state coup, and they are using the same playbook on Trump.
