In our Richard Nixon and Watergate, 1974 Through the Fire , season 7 finale, all the plotting and planning bares fruit as the Special Prosecutor's get both their indictments and they are able to assist their favorite Judge John J. Sirica into maneuvering himself in as the presiding Judge for most of the big cases on Watergate.
He, in turn, helps the Special Prosecutors, in a series of ex parte meetings, maneuver sealed Grand Jury evidence over to the House Judiciary Committee in order to insure what the congressman see as they move forward with a look at impeaching the duly elected President of the United States. It is all here in plain sight, you just had to wait nearly a half century to have the documents in hand to know what you were looking for rather than flying blind.
Here you will hear the plan executed flawlessly, structured in a way preventing the President's defense team from ever knowing exactly what the crime was he was actually accused of committing and its all covered by a very compliant national press corp, in the form of CBS News.
All of this is happening while off camera, as we have discussed and shown you, Henry Ruth, the second in command at the WSPF, is busy with secret dinners at his home, and also extending special invitations to his old friend, John Doar, to hop on over to the office after hours to get a look at all their secret evidence for himself. While also allegedly coming up with a plan to get his hands on it all, and keep his staff, and the Congressmen on his committee from ever seeing anything other than what the Special Prosecutor's want them to see.
And that is what we will be sharing with you in our final season of Richard Nixon and Watergate.
