    Someone needs remind #BlondiBondi that #Nixon's AG John Mitchell went to prison for his role in the #Watergate Cover-up. 🤔

    She did a similar #podcast back in 2018 about the staggering demise of #Nixon's #Veep, #SpiroAgnew, but I've listened to just the Bonus Episode from 2023 so far.

For some context, let's remember that #Strom #Thurmond so detested Abe Fortas on #SCOTUS, he screened #pornography on the Senate floor (since Fortas voted w/ majority to allow #pornographic films), calling it the #Fortas #Film #Festival. Fortas #resigned the following year, after a personal donor got arrested for stock fraud & #Nixon's AG threatened to #prosecute Fortas' wife for #tax evasion. He later argued cases before the #court! #impeach #clarence #thomas #now en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Fort
