If you would like to watch the entire symposium on You Tube it is available at the following link :

We are very appreciative and want to say thank you to The Federalist Society for allowing us to use the symposium in its entirety and again we want to thank Geoff Shepard for the use of all of his materials from his three books which are available at his website ShepardonWatergate.com 

This episode is the fourth  45 minutes of the event and it will cover the partisan choice of defendants where they indicted prominent Republicans , Chuck Colson, who were arguably not that involved and decided not to indict prominent Democrats, like Howard Hunt's Lawyer William Bittman.  This will also be the final episode in our long series on the tumultuous era of the 1960's including the assassination of a President, the Civil Rights Movement, The Vietnam War, the Presidency of Lyndon Johnson, the Presidency of Richard Nixon and the Watergate Scandal. 

This is a great companion to and a much more succinct presentation of the materials we covered throughout our podcast documentary.  

Just an FYI there are moments when a CLE code is played and it sounds like an Emergency broadcast test. 

We appreciate all of you who have tuned in throughout the past five seasons and we especially want to thank Geoff Shepard for all of his help in putting this entire series on Watergate together. It has been a pleasure and an honor to have played a small part in teaching the public the true facts about a great man who served as our 37th President of the United States, Richard Nixon.

In this special edition we look back at a giant of the American Justice System. Lawrence Silberman is a man most people, including me, had probably never heard of unless you were knowledgeable about the law.  I was introduced to him because he was on a panel examining the massive evidence of prosecutorial misconduct that the 2013 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Geoff Shepard had uncovered.  It was a symposium on the papers of Watergate hosted by The Federalist Society. 

That Symposium will be featured on our podcast all next week. The legal experts that are participating in that symposium are impressive to say the least.  we are honored that The Federalist Society has granted our show permission to share the event with you.  

Sadly, just over two weeks after the symposium Judge Silberman passed away at age 86. The suddenness of his passing had me curious to learn more about him, when I did ,  I realized that this man was an impressive one. 

In this episode, we will hear from Judge Laurence Silberman on a range of topics including, his role in protecting the second amendment in a ruling that struck down the Washington D.C.  gun policy, his thoughts on free speech in this modern age, the Rowe v Wade decision, His thoughts on the court system, the number of lawyers in the United States, and his role as a co-chair on the special committee that looked into the second Gulf War and how we got involved in it. 

This is one fascinating episode about  one of the most fascinating individuals in modern American History and a man that almost no one in the general public has even heard of,  until now.   

It is a tribute to a giant.

This is the final episode in our look at the oral history of FBI Field Agent Angelo Lano. It covers the Saturday Night Massacre, his opinion of John Dean, and his thoughts on the reporting of the Washington Post's Woodward and Bernstein. It is a fascinating look into what the investigators thought of the case as it unfolded in front of them.

On a side note, this is the type of broadcast we plan to run if we are renewed for a seventh season. Please let me know what you think and feel free to email me here from Buzzsprout, my personal email [email protected] or at my website RandalWallace.com. If you like this format we hope to be able to return to the air in early 2025 with a seventh season and let you hear the many different oral histories of those interviewed by the Richard Nixon Library.

And we will only offer our editorial opinions at the start of each broadcast. Now , we hope you enjoy our remaining episodes from our original Richard Nixon documentary podcasts, that were heard first on our sister podcast "Randal Wallace Presents" formerly "Bridging the Political Gap" 

Thanks again,

Randal

In this second of our three episode oral history with FBI Field Agent Angelo Lano we listen in as he talks about dealing with FBI second in command Mark Felt.

Felt turned out to be the secret source for The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. It is interesting to hear how Felt was willing to allow his team of FBI agents come under suspicion as the leaks continued to occur during the ongoing investigation of Watergate.

This is a very interesting oral history.

In our first episode of its kind we will let you listen to the oral history of FBI Field Agent Angelo J. Lano. He was in charge of the investigation of the Watergate break-in from its start until it ended. His insights are profound.

In this episode he will discuss John Dean and his role in Watergate, tracking down Howard Hunt, and chasing the money trail that would lead to Ken Dahlberg and a Mexican Attorney. You will hear him confirm, even before Geoff shepard showed it to the world, that the real motivation for Nixon asking the CIA to halt the FBI investigation was not to stop Watergate but instead to protect the identity of ADM Chairman Dwayne Andreas, a lifelong Democratic donor.  You will get insights on the inner workings of both the FBI as well, and how it interacted with both the CIA and the White House.

The next three episodes are a test case before we conclude our long running rebroadcast of our series looking back at the life and career of Richard Nixon. If these three episodes are well received, and we would love to hear your opinion too, we may renew for a seventh season and pour through the wealth of oral histories of the Nixon Library to bring them here to the Richard Nixon Experience for you to hear.

Let us hear your opinion too, through email here through our show, or at [email protected]  my personal email, or through our website RandalWallace.com
