Fifty years later, the truth about Watergate comes out

Fifty years ago today, Richard Nixon became the only U.S. president in history to resign from office.

Now, newly-unearthed documents show that Watergate was a scam from start to finish.

We already knew enough to raise suspicions, including:

• All of the Watergate burglars were connected to the CIA
• Bob Woodward, the reporter who broke the story, was an intelligence officer who became a journalist mere months before breaking the Watergate scandal
• Deep Throat, the anonymous man who leaked the Watergate scandal to Woodward, was revealed to be Deputy Director of the FBI Mark Felt

Those facts alone suggest that Watergate was a deep state coup. But if you’re still not convinced, former Nixon White House staffer Geoff Shepard joined today’s episode of The Tucker Carlson Show to reveal shocking new details that erase all doubts.

Shepard not only proves that Watergate was a set-up, but he also explains how the deep state is using the same playbook against Donald Trump.

Geoff Shepard tells Tucker:

“I’ve uncovered what was simply not known. [The Watergate break-in] is not what sunk Richard Nixon. What sunk Richard Nixon was hugely biased lawfare, the perversion of the criminal justice system designed to drive Nixon from office, to void his re-election, and to imprison his top aides.”

Fifty years to the day after Richard Nixon’s resignation, newly-unearthed documents show Watergate was a scam from start to finish. Geoff Shepard saw it happen. The parallels to what’s currently happening to Trump are remarkable.
