Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed an appeal with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, urging them to REVERSE Judge Aileen Cannon's dismissal of Trump's classified documents/obstruction of justice/espionage case.Jack Smith made clear that Cannon's dismissal has no legal support and is contrary to all precedent, including precedent from the Supreme Court dating back to the Nixon/Watergate era. As Smith writes, Judge Cannon's dismissal of Trump's case "conflicts with an otherwise unbroken course of decisions, including by the Supreme Court, that the Attorney General has such authority, and it is at odds with widespread and longstanding appointment practices in the Department of Justice and across the government. This Court should reverse."Glenn goes over the next steps in the process and discusses what happens if Jack Smith wins the appeal and what happens in the (unlikely) event Donald Trump wins the appeal.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Richard Nixon war der erste und bisher einzige US-Präsident, der zurücktrat. Sein Abgang war der Höhepunkt des sogenannten Watergate-Skandals. Der begann vor 50 Jahren: Am 17. Juni 1972 wurden fünf Einbrecher verhaftet. Sie waren ins Wahlkampf-Hauptquartier der Demokraten eingedrungen. Deren Büros befanden sich in einem Washingtoner Gebäudekomplex mit dem Namen Watergate.Zwei junge Journalisten von der «Washington Post» berichteten über den Einbruch, recherchierten weiter und konnten aufzeigen, dass der Präsident von den kriminellen Machenschaften wusste. Um einem Amtsenthebungsverfahren, einem sogenannten Impeachment, zuvorzukommen, trat Nixon zurück.Bob Woodward und Carl Bernstein sind heute lebende Reporterlegenden. Hollywood hat ihre Geschichte verfilmt, «All the President's Men» wurde zu einem Klassiker. Und die beiden Journalisten schreiben immer noch: Anlässlich des Watergate-Jahrestags verglichen sie in einem Essay Nixon mit Donald Trump, und sie zeigten etliche Parallelen auf.Offensichtlich hat Watergate die amerikanische Politik verändert. Aber führt eine direkte Linie von Nixon zu Trump? Und was war mit den Skandalen von Ronald Reagan und Bill Clinton? Darüber unterhalten sich Martin Kilian, langjähriger USA-Korrespondent, und Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International der Tamedia-Redaktion in Zürich, in einer neuen Folge des Podcasts «Alles klar, Amerika?»

On this episode of The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with Shea Whigham.  He's been acting in film and TV for years and always delivers a memorable performance.  He's shown up in a variety of projects, such as Perry Mason, Joker, Vice, Sicario: The Day of The Soldado, American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook, The Wolf of Wall Street and a recurring role in the Mission Impossible franchise.  You can now see him in the Starz miniseries, Gaslit, where he plays G. Gordon Liddy.  He co-stars with Julia Roberts and Sean Penn in this drama about the Nixon Watergate scandal.  It was a pleasure to sit down with Shea to talk story and learn about his creative path.

On this edition of Parallax Views, it's a Halloween hangover episode where politics and horror movies collide! Martin Harris, author of Leatherface vs. Tricky Dick: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as Political Satire, joins me to examine filmmaker Tobe Hooper's 1974 cult classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in the context of the turbulent political scandal it was made in the midst of: Watergate and the fall of President Richard Milhouse Nixon. Believe it or not, Hooper himself made references to how his infamous film was influenced by the political climate of the 1970s. Much was going on when the film was being made. U.S. economic woes were increasing while gas shortages impacted the nation. The leftovers of the psychedelic 60s counterculture were wondering about in the aftermath of the Manson Family killings and Altamont. The Vietnam War was winding down but its effect on the American psyche was looming large. The rural/urban divide was growing. And Richard Nixon, with the help of his cronies like G. Gordon Liddy, plotted to break-in to the Democratic National Convention in what would become of the biggest scandal in American political history. Harris and I discuss all this and much more in this fascinating conversation that also delves into the parallels between Leatherface and Richard Nixon, the character of "The Old Man" (played by Jim Siedow) in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Richard Nixon, Irving Kristol's "The Nightmare of Watergate" and the irrationality of Watergate, the dark comedy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a historical overview of the Watergate scandal and the way it was experienced by Americans at the time, Gerald Ford's comments about Watergate as "our long national nightmare", Hunter S. Thompson's commentaries on Watergate and his invocation of the horrific and grotesque when writing about it,  "Saturn in Retrograde" and the implications of the cosmic in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, satires of the Nixon era as it was happening, the infamous White House "Saturday Night Massacre" under Nixon, the valence of Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel's production company being called Vortex Inc., the circularity of both The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Watergate wherein the "horror folds in on itself", the chilling opening of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and the narration by John Larroquette, criminal discovery in Watergate and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the villains of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as conspirators engaged in cover-ups of crimes, the character of "The Hitchhiker" (played by Edwin Neal), the Leatherface mask and the Nixon mask, Leatherface's formality of dress (ie: tie and suit), tensions between "old ways" and "new ways" and tradition vs. youth in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Nixon and the Southern Strategy, Tobe Hooper's experimental film Eggshells and its relationship to the 1960s counterculture, the power of the Presidency and draconian measures in the Nixon era, the rise of astrology and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, political lies and the lie that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was "based on a true story", the popularity of astrology in times of uncertainty and Nixon's relationship with astrologer Jeane Dixon, political allegory vs. political satire, satire as a means to comment on real life matters in indirect ways, and much, more!

On this edition of Parallax Views, Henry Kissinger is perhaps the most-well-known political figures associated with United State foreign policy and geopolitics since the post-WWII period. Reviled as a war criminal by many, such as Christopher Hitchens and Greg Grandin, and lauded as the 20th century's greatest statesman by others, Kissinger is, regardless of what one may think of him obviously someone who has left a lasting impact. Prof. Thomas A. Schwartz, author of Henry Kissinger and American Power: A Political Biography, joins us on this edition of the program to discuss the life and legacy of Kissinger. Unlike both Kissinger's detractors and his admirers, Schwartz attempts to come somewhere down the middle in his assessment of the former Secretary of State. We discuss Kissinger's early life, his image as a cold calculating figure politically, the Vietnam War and the Nixon/Watergate era, the harshest criticisms of Kissinger, and much, much more.

Pretty sure I've told this story in the Daily Hustle before but it's definitely worth revisiting for a multitude of reasons... In 2000, my minor league teammate Jason Hart and I were driving from spring training in Phoenix to Midland, Texas... Somehow we got a hold of a placemat with all of the Presidents Of The United States on it, and Hart asked me how long it would take me to memorize all the Presidents in order... As a confident young go hard, I didn't hesitate with my response... “1 hour.”  Not believing it was possible, Hart immediately bet me a Taco Bell lunch (no small price considering we each slaughtered 5 items a piece) at our next stop, which just so happened to be an hour away...  From there I went to work. I had recently read about how the best way to memorize something is by associating whatever it is with something else... So I decided to play with the numbers (43 Presidents at the time) and names to come up with each answer. This is basically how the name/number associations went...  Washington (We all know that) Adams (Coach Dick Adams SF Football)  Jefferson (Street in Redwood City)  Madison (James Madison University)  Monroe (Marilyn)  John Quincy Adams (Grandson of John Adams)  Andrew Jackson (Andrew Johnson is #17)  Martin Van Buren (Street in SF)  Harrison (Grandfather of #23 William Harrison)  Tyler (Linked him with #12 Taylor) Polk (Street in SF)  Taylor (See #10) Millard Fillmore (Millard the Willard)  Pierce (His dark hair & piercing stare was easily etched in my memory)  Buchanan (Our only bachelor President)  Abe (No memory tool needed)  Johnson (See #7)  Ulysses S Grant (War Hero)  Hayes (Though about one of my best friends growing up Ryan Hayes)  Garfield (The Cat)  Chester A. Arthur (Loved the name Chester)  Cleveland (Only President to serve 2 non-consecutive terms)  Harrison (See #9)  Cleveland (See #22) McKinley (assassinated)  Roosevelt (Speak softly & carry a big stick)  Taft (Got stuck in White House bathtub because he was 300 pounds)  Wilson (The volleyball)  Harding (The park)  Coolidge (Cool Cal)  Hoover (Vacuum up)   FDR (Roosevelt Fam)  Truman (When Harry Met Sally)  Eisenhower (Dwight Clark)  JFK (Like Washington & Lincoln, no association necessary)  Johnson (Johnson & Johnson)  Nixon (Watergate & Deep Throat)  Ford (Michigan Football)  Carter (Saw him at Alpine Hills)  Reagan (Trickle down economics)  Bush (Gulf War)  Clinton (Monica)  George W. Bush (One of the nicest & most genuine dudes I've ever met) Right after I rattled off #43 I immediately told Hartsy:  “Nacho Bell Grande, a chilito, 2 tacos and a F*ING bean burrito please.”

Breaking up is hard to do. Except when the break up is in response to comments that at best are insensitive and at worst show a complete disregard for others. This episode of All About Fitness features Graham King, the owner of Urban Athletic studios in Washington, DC who has been affiliated with CrossFit for years but recently ended that relationship in response to comments made by the founder and former CEO. Graham shares his experience as a business owner near the epicenter of the Black Lives Matter protests in DC, provides his thoughts on the CrossFit community and discusses his decision to end his affiliation with the brand. BONUS: From politics to entertainment to sports, the suffix, GATE, has been attached to scandals ever since the Nixon Watergate fiasco back in the 1970s. If you've ever wondered about how the term came into our lexicon, Graham and I share the origin story of the phrase Watergate.  Learn more about the vibe at Urban Athletic Club on the company's Instagram channel: @urbanathleticclub    What's the best way to exercise your inner thigh muscles?

When people recognize Maya Wiley from her legal commentary on MSNBC and NBC, she gets stopped on the street by those asking how worried they should be as a citizen in the midst of the impeachment chaos. She answers this question with Mark as they dive deep into analyzing the intricacies of the process, its origin and the Constitution, and point to some stark (and troubling) differences between how Republicans are acting now as opposed to the Nixon/Watergate scandal. Her expert legal analysis proves helpful in understanding Trump’s privileges, how the Supreme Court comes into play, and what may be coming next, as we see a power volley between House Democrats and Senate Republicans play out in the media spotlight.

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.

President Donald Trump called openly Thursday for the leaders of Ukraine and China to investigate Trump's campaign rival Joe Biden and Biden's son Hunter for corruption. Trump's explicit remarks during a press conference came as leaders of the Democratic-led House pushed ahead rapidly with their impeachment investigation. President Trump is just the fourth U.S. president to face a formal impeachment inquiry, joining Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. We spend the hour looking at back at the Watergate scandal, which led to Nixon's resignation in 1974 and is the focus of a documentary titled “Watergate — Or: How We Learned to Stop an Out of Control President.” Drawing on 3,400 hours of audiotapes, archival footage and declassified documents, the film chronicles the dramatic events surrounding the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in 1972, which precipitated Nixon's eventual resignation two years later under threat of impeachment. We play clips from the film and speak with its director, Charles Ferguson, who won an Academy Award for his documentary “Inside Job.” The post From Trump to Nixon: “Watergate” Film Explains “How We Learned to Stop an Out of Control President” appeared first on KPFA.

Richard Nixon’s presidency was particularly influential in American history. Not only was he the only president to ever resign, but his obstruction of justice has had a lasting impact on the direction of American politics. Today, Wendy uncovers what this American Zodiac’s chart tells us about the Watergate Scandal and how it plays a part in today’s politics. Wendy also dissects Donald Trumps Astrology Chart in a way that parallels Nixon’s presidency. To hear more about how this event is still playing a part in today’s government and whether or not Nixon’s choices can result in Trump being charged with obstruction of justice, tune into this episode of Histrology.   Show Highlights: How the Watergate scandal is still influencing politics now   Who is Nixon according to his astrological chart   The influence Pluto and Neptune had on Nixon’s perspective   Nixon’s reaction to the Watergate investigation and how he could have used his power differently   How America’s chart is symbolic during Nixon’s presidency   How Nixon’s obstruction of justice distorted the world’s view of America   Nixon vs. Trump similarities and the impact its having on America   Links: Contact Wendy: Wendy@histrology.net Twitter: @histrology https://www.wendyhornung.com/book-online/cycles-timing-session

The victory of Richard Nixon in the US presidential election of 1968 swung on an "October Surprise"--a treasonous plot engineered by key figures in the Republican Party to keep the South Vietnamese government away from peace talks in Paris, costing thousands of American lives. Dirty Tricks provides compelling new evidence of Anna Chennault's Nixon-approved role in sabotaging the peace talks and ensuring a Nixon White House.Dirty Tricks also provides the first detailed analysis of the CIA's recently-released internal history of Watergate, documenting the backgrounds of the burglars and their associations with the Agency in unprecedented detail, and how the Nixon White House sought to implicate the CIA in the emerging scandal. CIA Director Richard Helms' relationship with Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt was much closer than previously disclosed and the CIA agent inside the plot was sent on a double agent mission by American intelligence after he got out of prison.

There are many accounts about the rise of Disco bubbling up from as late as the 60's. Frankly, I won't go back that far because it really wasn't on people's radar until around 1973-74. Many soul artists were picking up on the faster rhythmic beats and had massive success with songs like "Armed and Extremely Dangerous" by First Choice, "The Love I Lost" by Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes, "You're The First, the Last, My Everything" by Barry White, "Doctor's Orders" by Carol Douglas, "Get Dancin'" by Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes, "Rock Your Baby" by George McCrae, "Never Can Say Goodbye" by Gloria Gaynor, "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation, and many more. By 1975-76, the disco sound moved from the underground clubs and minor radio hits to mainstream radio and number one hits like "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" by Barry White, "The Hustle" by Van McCoy & The Soul City Orchestra, "Love To Love You, Baby" by Donna Summer, "Movin'" by Brass Construction, "Brazil" by The Ritchie Family, "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate, "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry, and even "Fame" by David Bowie. By 1977, all bets were off and Disco had made the final leap from the underground to mainstream domination and it only got more popular from there for the rest of the 70's into the early 80's before the backlash began. The first 12" extended play single goes to "Love To Love You, Baby" by Donna Summer. After Giorgio Moroder had played the single at a party, people began requesting it over and over. He soon came to the notion of creating a much longer version that people could enjoy in the clubs, which gave birth to 15 minutes of orgasmic perfection with Donna's sultry vocals. Technically, there were other earlier long plays but this track is wildly credited for making them more mainstream. If you lived in New York, Studio 54 was the place to be for anybody that was somebody. All the "A" list stars showed up to see and be seen. Grace Jones, Cher, Debbie Harry and many more were regular fixtures at the club. For those that couldn't get into 54, Paradise Garage and The Loft were the go-to spots for the anything-goes openly gay experience and played many notable underground tracks that never made it to radio. This era of the late 70's and early 80's is notable for its excesses. Drugs, open sex, and basically an anything-goes attitude, gave way to the AIDS epidemic of the early 80's. You cannot exactly discount the connection between the two. Nevertheless, it was a time of carefree expression when people wanted to escape the realities of high inflation, high gas prices, and a staggering economy of the post-Nixon-Watergate era. I've often dreamt about growing up during this period but even I admit to my own personal excesses during the 80's and 90's and would likely be dead today had I grown up during the disco revolution. Regardless, you just can't escape the amazing music that came out of this period, which is the basis for everything that has succeeded it. Whether it was House Music, NRG, Techno, Trance, and on down the line, Disco and all its glorious variants are what started it all and is the main reason it's so heavily sampled in today's music. For all its lack of social values and hedonistic tendencies, I adore Disco. While I am a massive fan of ALL music for my many moods, Disco is the only one I always gravitate towards when I need a pick-me-up. It's like a good friend that I can always rely on to make me happy. I hope everyone is enjoying these sets as much as I am putting them all together for you. I've already got volume 6 in the can and then need to start working on the fast beats, which will likely be the final set. Since I'm running behind in my schedule, I'll likely drop the next volume on Friday. Until then...ENJOY!

It started, like so many eruptions these days, with a tweet. Early Saturday morning, President Trump fired off a series of tweets accusing, without evidence, former PresidentBarack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in the month before the election. Trump compared the alleged snooping to “Nixon/Watergate,” and intimated legal action. What makes the broader allegation so extraordinary isn't that it is new. Quite the contrary.

In 1974, in the wake of the Nixon Watergate hearings, Ram Dass produced a box set of LP's called Love Serve Remember. Included in the set were excerpts from a radio show he did that consisted of Q&A from audience members. It's amazing how relevant Ram Dass' answers to these questions are to our own very challenging contemporary times.
