Nixon Was Framed – It Was a Coup

Special Report

James Rosen wrote a delicate piece for the New York Times that was published this week, detailing aspects of the Nixon Administration’s coup.

Roger Stone has shared this position for years.  Now, he is proven right.

Here are some of Rosen’s comments:

In a closed-door meeting at the Justice Department last month, senior officials with the Office of Professional Responsibility spent two hours reviewing 78 PowerPoint slides relating to — of all things — Watergate…The presentation focused on longstanding allegations of misconduct by the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, the team of young Ivy League lawyers whose investigation helped bring down President Richard Nixon and secured criminal convictions of his top former aides…But what about all the president’s men? Did they get a raw deal?  According to a raft of scholarly work, the answer, unequivocally, is yes. By fabricating witness testimony, suppressing exculpatory evidence and colluding with the presiding judge, the Watergate prosecutors railroaded the former attorney general John Mitchell, the former White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman and the former domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman…On Feb. 6, 1974, a task force staff lawyer, Peter Rient, sent a colleague a three-page memo titled “Material Discrepancies Between the Senate Select Committee Testimony of John Dean andthe Tapes of Dean’s Meetings With the President.”  Mr. Nixon was then six months away from resigning…[having the truth here may have saved Nixon his Presidency]The Rient memo was never released to the news media. The public was kept in the dark about acute problems that Watergate prosecutors had identified in the Senate testimony of their star witness. Likewise, the Rient memo was withheld from defense counsel in U.S. v. Mitchell, the Watergate cover-up trial in which Mr. Dean’s testimony proved decisive. Having ironed out all the material discrepancies from his sworn Senate appearance, the prosecutors used Mr. Dean’s new testimony to secure convictions of Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman, once among the most powerful men in government.

The coup of Nixon worked so well that they had to try it again with President Trump, and he beat them all.  Let’s hope the liars and those involved in treason are addressed soon and quickly.
