This week, the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility invited Geoff Shepard, a former Nixon White House fellow, to give a presentation titled “Watergate as Lawfare,” the The Wall Street Journal reported.
Shepard has become something of an evangelist for this bonkers revisionist conspiracy theory. But I was an assistant special Watergate prosecutor from 1973 to 1976. And a review of my files turned up only one innocuous reference to Shepard: He was present with an aide to Chuck Colson, special counsel to the president, who pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice.
Shepard reportedly presented his theory to OPR for more than two hours, per the Journal. Like Vice President JD Vance has previously implied, Shepard claimed to OPR that “the deep state took Nixon down.”
The opposite is true.
