Watergate at 50: Death Spiral

CROpod: The Other Rangers Podcast

The Special Prosecutor is fitting out his allies for their prison attire. Impeachment is a certainty in the House. And even Republicans in the Senate have let him know that the outcome is a foregone conclusion. In Episode 8 of their Watergate at 50 series, Shane and David are back as the final days of the Nixon presidency draw to an inevitable finish.

There are still a couple of characters left to play their big part, namely Leon Jaworski and Alexander Haig. You've heard about them plenty of times in this series but find out how they came to be the two most influential figures in these closing acts. Plus, the Supreme Court makes it known that they're tired of all the grandstanding; Barry Goldwater tells the president his tired act no longer works on the GOP's base; and a tired Richard Nixon says goodbye to his staff and rides away from Washington.
