Victoria Taft wrote the article “Nixon’s the One … Again” for PJ Media. Here’s an excerpt:
It was at a lecture there that I heard Geoff Shepard. He was a young Nixon White House lawyer whose later job was to transcribe Nixon’s secret tapes. He was the one who thought he heard smoking gun evidence of Nixon’s guilt on the tapes, only to put the pieces together years later and realize he was wrong. In his book The Nixon Conspiracy: Watergate and the Plot to Remove the President, he painstakingly details the flawed and outrageous legal gamesmanship that the Watergate committees played, and Judge John Sirica’s illegal antics. Lore says Sirica pushed for the truth to get to the public. Sirica was pushing narratives.
