What lessons can we learn from the Watergate investigation? Nixon’s impeachment? And, how does the Nixon era compare to today’s political and social climate?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Henry Hecht, a Lecturer at Berkeley Law and a former Assistant Watergate Special Prosecutor, to discuss the investigation into the Watergate Scandal, the similarities and differences between Trump and Nixon, as well as what this may mean for the current impeachment investigation.   A colleague of Larry Hammond, one of our previous guests, Henry joined Larry and 15 other former Watergate special prosecutors, in penning a recent Washington Post op-ed arguing why President Trump should be impeached.  The article entitled, “We investigated the Watergate scandal. We believe Trump should be impeached,” is clear. Based on their own accounts, Henry and his colleges make a compelling argument that there is already enough evidence to support the impeachment of Trump. In the 1970s, they investigated serious abuses of presidential power by President Nixon and, in the article, they detail their beliefs that Trump should face the same charges, specifically citing: obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress. Henry and Aaron take a deep dive into the reasoning behind this decision, exploring the rule of law, the historical elements of impeachment, and more.     A Harvard Law graduate in 1973, Henry was the “baby” of the prosecutorial team. Throughout today’s episode, he shares his personal and professional stories of his time as an investigator, the lessons he’s learned from his experiences, and his opinions on Trump, the administration, and today’s political culture. Aaron and Henry talk about what makes the Nixon impeachment similar, and different, from the investigation surrounding Trump – touching specifically on the Ukraine allegations, the Mueller report, and the idea of how Trump and Nixon treated “executive privilege.” Henry and Aaron discuss the process of impeachment, our U.S. constitution and the rule of law, as well as the importance of language and semantics.   Henry served as an Assistant Special Prosecutor on the Watergate Special Prosecution Force from 1973 to 1976, and was Special Counsel to the San Francisco firm of Heller Ehrman LLP from 1977 to 1983, joining the Berkeley Law Faculty in 1983. An independent consultant on skills training for lawyers, Henry is the co-founder of The Hecht Training Group, a group of attorneys who have each taught lawyering skills for more than 35 years. Henry’s Training Group utilizes the “learning by doing” method, presenting workshops on deposition, negotiation, motion practice, evidence, and trial skills to more than 70 law firms, corporate law offices, government agencies, and bar associations across the country.    Henry has lectured and written extensively for the America Bar Association, the American Law Institute-American Bar Association, California Continuing Education of the Bar, the Practising Law Institute, and the National Practice Institute. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Practice Program for the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and the Andrew Levitt Center for Social Emergency Medicine. He also served on the Board of Directors of the East Bay Community Law Center for 16 years. He is an elected member of the American Law Institute and the American Bar Foundation.    To learn more about The Hecht Training Group, please click here.   To find a copy of the Washington Post op-ed, “We investigated the Watergate scandal.

How does the Trump impeachment investigation compare to the impeachment inquiry of Nixon?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Larry Hammond, an attorney and former Assistant Watergate Special Prosecutor, to discuss the Trump impeachment inquiry, the comparisons between Trump and Nixon, as well as Larry’s recent Washington Post article calling for the impeachment of the President.   Last week, 17 former Watergate special prosecutors, including our guest today, made a compelling case in the Washington Post for why President Trump should be impeached.  The article entitled, “We investigated the Watergate scandal. We believe Trump should be impeached,” doesn’t mince words. Based on their own accounts, Larry and his colleges make a compelling case for why Trump should be impeached, arguing that there is already enough evidence to support an impeachment. In the 1970s, they investigated serious abuses of presidential power by President Nixon and in the article they detail their beliefs that Trump should face the same charges, specifically citing: obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress.   Currently the most senior member of Osborn Maledon’s investigations and criminal defense group, Larry details his time in Washington and his personal experience within the Watergate investigation. Larry and Aaron talk about his background and how he came to be on the prosecutorial team; they lay out the particular evidence Larry believes supports impeachment, including the ongoing conversation around Ukraine as well as Special Prosecutor Mueller’s investigation and findings. Aaron and Larry compare Trump and Nixon to the Clinton impeachment and debate the different dimensions present in each.   Larry’s practice focuses primarily on criminal defense – both white collar and general criminal representation, but he has also been extensively involved in complex civil litigation. After clerkships on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, two Supreme Court Clerkships (for Justice Hugo L. Black and Lewis F. Powell, Jr.), and his time as Assistant Watergate Special Prosecutor, Larry served as the First Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice. A founder and former President of the Arizona Justice Project, Larry is often known best for his work in very high-profile criminal cases, including his work on behalf of the indigent defense community. He also helped found the Arizona Capital Representation Project to assist inmates charged or convicted of capital crimes, and served as the Chair of the State Bar’s Indigent Defense Task Force. In 2005-2007, Larry was the President of the American Judicature Society – an organization devoted to improving the administration of justice in America.   To find a copy of the Washington Post op-ed, “We investigated the Watergate scandal.

Former Assistant Chief US Senate Watergate Committee counsel David Dorsen moves away from his scholarly non-fiction works to delve into a contemporary and witty fictional account of President Donald J Trump in his new novel Moses v Trump.  Moses v Trump opens with a New York federal judge mourning the death of his wife and wondering what direction his life will turn. That’s when the libel case (Moses v Trump) lands in his lap. Ira Moses is an older attorney who had represented a fired Trump cabinet appointee, and who won the case. However, a rightwing media outlet and Donald Trump accused Moses of bribing a juror. David Dorsen’s new novel has captured the moment. He has created a convincing court proceeding in the era of Trump. It is sorely needed entertainment and puts Trump precisely where he should be”— John Dean, former counsel to President Richard Nixon and CNN contribution. “A brilliant, witty, page-turning political parody that reads like the evening news. David Dorsen drops a Trump card.”—Frank Serpico, retired New York City police detective, famous corruption fighter and subject of the movie Serpico. Moses v Trump is available now on Amazon and at bookstores everywhere.

Hear him explain the exact moment he knew President Nixon was guilty, the vast gap between what we know and what Robert Mueller knows, and how he thinks we ended up back here nearly 50 years later.Email us at WITHpod@gmail.comTweet using #WITHpodRead more at nbcnews.com/whyisthishappening
