Geoff Shepard's shocking exposé uncovers the corrupt collusion between prosecutors, judges, and congressional staff that led to the overturning of Richard Nixon's 1972 landslide reelection. Their success altered the course of American history drastically.
As the youngest lawyer on Nixon's staff, Shepard had a ringside seat to the unfolding Watergate debacle. He personally transcribed the Oval Office tape in which Nixon seemed to authorize getting the CIA to interfere in the ongoing FBI investigation, even coining the phrase "the smoking gun." Despite feeling deeply disappointed in the president, the idealistic Shepard couldn't shake the sense that something wasn't right with the case against Nixon.
"The Nixon Conspiracy" is a detailed and definitive account based on years of painstaking research in previously sealed archives of the Watergate prosecutors' internal documents. Shepard reveals the untold story of how a flawed but honorable president was unjustly brought down by a corrupt alliance between the deep state and big media--a situation that feels disturbingly familiar today.
Shepard's revelations include the real "smoking gun": the prosecutors' secret but erroneous "Road Map," which led grand jurors to name Nixon a co-conspirator in the Watergate cover-up and led the House Judiciary Committee to adopt its primary Article of Impeachment. Shepard's startling conclusion is that Nixon didn't have to resign. The proof of his good faith is on the tapes. Instead, he should have taken his case to a Senate impeachment trial, where, given what we know now, he would have easily won.
