How the Deep State Took Down Richard Nixon

A documentary from Michael Patrick Leahy Investigates, featuring Geoff Shepard
The Deep State first tried to take down a sitting President of the United States more than half a century ago.

It took more than two years of effort after the June 17, 1972 Watergate burglary, but on August 8, 1974 they succeeded, when President Richard Nixon announced from the Oval Office that he was resigning from office the following day at noon. Nixon was the first president in American history to resign from office.

This is how the Deep State took down a president — and created the playbook they've used ever since.
