Finally, the United States House of Representatives Judiciary Committee cast its vote on the Articles of Impeachment. It is an emotional vote for the congressmen who were thrust into history and totally unprepared for the experience. They did their best they felt, and cast the vote they had to cast.
It was strangely an unemotional moment for the President himself. Richard Nixon, worn out by two years of public assault, had prepared himself for the moment, and ever since his talk with Governor George Wallace had felt the vote was coming and it would be bad. He talks about his own emotions in this episode.
Then a tape emerges in the subpoenaed 64 conversations that would totally devastate President Nixon's defense. We will let you hear the portion of the tape in question. We will also hear the part of the story that no one in the country knew at the time it was released.
Ironically, this conversation and its actual meaning, not the meaning assigned to it by conventional wisdom, the media, and the President's lawyers at the time. But its actual meaning is one of the few things that Geoff Shepard, the President's last defense team member, and John Dean, the main witness against President Nixon, then and now, actually agree about.
and you will hear them both in this episode of "Nixon and Watergate".
