TJ Walker on Watergate: Nixon’s Own Words Seal His Fate #Watergate #TJWalker

Donald Trump's Justice Department is reviewing whether Richard Nixon got a raw deal. Nixon. The Wall Street Journal reports a former Nixon aide, Jeff Shepard, was invited to Justice Department headquarters to give a 2-hour presentation with a 78-page slide deck titled Watergate as Lawfare. The department says it hasn't opened a new probe. They just watched a 2-hour slideshow. Voluntarily. Now, I understand the appeal. Trump supporters believe prosecutors were weaponized against him, so reopening old cases feels like fairness. But I've taught thousands of people to reframe their failures, and this is the most ambitious reframing I've ever seen. Nixon recorded himself in his own office approving a cover-up. That's not lawfare. That's a confession with excellent audio. The burglars got caught wearing surgical gloves. Lawfare. Next, they'll investigate whether the iceberg was framed by the Titanic.
