Nixon Conspiracy: Watergate and the Plot to Remove the President

Geoff Shepard&;s shocking exposé of corrupt collusion between prosecutors, judges, and congressional staff to void Nixon&;s 1972 landslide reelection. Their success changed the course of American history.Geoff Shepard had a ringside seat to the unfolding Watergate debacle. As the youngest lawyer on Richard Nixon&;s staff, he personally transcribed the Oval Office tape in which Nixon appeared to authorize getting the CIA to interfere with the ongoing FBI investigation, and even coined the phrase &;the smoking gun.&; Like many others, the idealistic Shepard was deeply disappointed in the president. But as time went on, the meticulous lawyer was nagged by the persistent sense that something wasn&;t right with the case against Nixon. The Nixon Conspiracy is a detailed and definitive account of the Watergate prosecutors&; internal documents uncovered after years of painstaking research in previously sealed archives. Shepard reveals the untold story of how a flawed but honorable president was needlessly brought down by a corrupt, deep state, big media alliance&;a circumstance that looks all too familiar today. In this hard-hitting exposé, Shepard reveals the real smoking gun: the prosecutors&; secret, but erroneous, &;Road Map&; which caused grand jurors to name Nixon a co-conspirator in the Watergate cover-up and the House Judiciary Committee to adopt its primary Article of Impeachment. Shepard&;s startling conclusion is that Nixon didn&;t actually have to resign. The proof of his good faith is right there on the tapes. Instead, he should have taken his case to a Senate impeachment trial&;where, if everything we know now had come out&;he would easily have won.
