🧵AGAIN, a great, meaty post, with a great AU COURANT title!

I was 12-14 when Watergate swept the country, and as I’ve previously said, it WAS my political awakening.

I guess a decade of enduring tragic assassinations in the ‘60s made my eyes want to snap open when presented with the right medium, in that case, televised hearings.

And the THING IS, these YOUNG PUPS, Rogan & Vance, weren’t THERE, to witness REALLY malignant personalities, like Vice-President SPIRO AGNEW & Attorney General JOHN MITCHELL.

Nor all of the Dirty-Tricksters, “Daddy G.,” G. Gordon Liddy, James W. McCord, et al.

I believe it was JEB STEWART McGRUDER, a lawyer with CREEP, the Committee to Re-Elect the President, who coined the phrase for dirty tricks, “rat-f***ing,” 😒‼️
