It has been 50 years since the Administration of Richard Nixon. In that time, the left has waged a war on history to define Richard Nixon as a failure as President. For much of the half century Richard Nixon's name was synonymous with corruption and Government overreach. Podcasts, Documentaries, Cable Network specials have all controlled a narrative that cast Richard Nixon as the 20th centuries great American Villain.

But all of that has changed. First in 2013, Geoff Shepard, Richard Nixon's youngest Watergate Defense team member, petitioned the National Archives for access to sealed Watergate materials. What he found was a treasure of exculpatory material that has sent shock waves throughout the world of serious historians and legal scholars. Was there more to the story of Watergate? The documentation he exposed certainly seems to say so and that is not the only area where scholars are finding that there was way more to Richard Nixon's tenure than had ever been appreciated.

Richard Nixon worked to protect civil rights, advance women in government, protect the environment, set new higher standards for workforce safety, share revenues with local government, restructure the inner workings of the Federal Government, with plans to make it work more efficiently and more effectively and he even worked to provide a better healthcare and welfare system some 40 years ahead of his time. He opened up women's sports, lowered the voting age, ushered in an era of Judicial restraint, desegregated the Southern School system, poured millions into entrepreneurial programs for minorities, passed tough laws on organized crime, ended the draft and passed billions of dollars into cancer research that has led to most of the advances against the wide variety of deadly diseases we see today.

And that list does not even get into the Foreign Policy achievements we associate with his incredible five and a half years as President.

We thought it was time to tell that story and over the next year and half we will tell that story on this podcast. The story of the experience of a nation, at war in Vietnam, and often under siege, and at war with itself, here at home. An experience that created a great gash in the body politic that we are still healing from today. It is the story of the man who saved our Union from the growing disaster an upheaval experienced in this era.

The story of the experience of a nation as it wrestled with titanic changes in culture, the experience of a nation ripped from its foundations, and the experience of the historic leader that set that nation back on course to its rightful place as the beacon of light for freedom and prosperity to a troubled world . The experience of the late 1960's and early 1970's, the experience of the most divisive era in American history, other than the Civil War, the experience of the United States of America and the leader who fixed it all.

    This is the second half of the oral history of Bernard Nussbaum

    In this episode, we listen to the oral history of Bernard Nussbaum, the number 2 man on the House Judiciary Committee Staff that oversaw the Impeachment Inquiry into Watergate and President Richard Nixon.

    While you have to read between the lines, the message is clear. Nussbaum doesn’t like the Special Prosecutors Office and harbors real concern about that office’s ability to wreak havoc on the system.

    Though he defends the Watergate Special Prosecutors Office . But It does beg the question, if none of the abuses done be Ken Star had happened yet when Nussbaum argued so vehemently against President Clinton creating an office to investigate the Whitewater Scandal, that he warned Clinton of the enormous damage the office could inflict on him and his administration, why did he feel that strongly about it.

    In this oral history you see what Nussbaum learned and came away from the Watergate investigation.

    The Special Prosecutor and Special Counsel offices are a dangerous office and not because they find the truth but because they are given the power and incentive not to do so.

    This is an extraordinary interview and provides a powerful underpinning to the charges now under review at the Justice Department that Richard Nixon and many of the other defendants of Watergate may have been treated horribly unfairly.

    This is a surprise oral history. It is candid and at times very sympathetic to President Nixon for which I was surprised.
    it also had moments where you get a sense that she may not have agreed with her over all bosses decision to collate and not investigate the materials they had received. It’s not as pronounced as it will be in the Nussbaum oral history later but I do think you will sense she was in his camp on this subject.

    I think these oral histories are even more insightful now as the Department of Justice has officially begun to relook at Watergate and the material our show got out to the public is now being examined.
