A judge as inexperienced as #Cannon (she had only tried FOUR cases before being assigned the #ClassifiedDocs case) and APPOINTED BY THE DEFENDANT has NO business presiding over a case of this magnitude (unquestionable bigger than #Watergate.)
#OTD in 1973, the Senate Watergate hearings began, marking one of the most infamous events in American political history and reshaping public trust in government and media. Relive this pivotal moment in history by exploring the complete "gavel to gavel" coverage with the AAPB’s The Watergate Hearings Collection: https://americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-aacip-512-6688g8g717
Today in Labor History March 16, 1968: Up to 500 Vietnamese villagers were slaughtered by U.S. troops in the My Lai Massacre. The story was broken by investigative journalist Sy Hersch, who also covered Watergate, the secret US bombing of Cambodia, CIA domestic spying within the US, and the US torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. More recently, he has written articles showing that Syrian rebel forces, not the Assad regime, contrary to US propaganda, were responsible for the sarin gas attack in Ghouta. And that the US, with Norwegian collaboration, blew up the Nord Stream pipelines between Russia and Germany (also contrary to US propaganda).
I played Watergate today for the first time. I lost twice, first playing the Editor, then playing Nixon. But each time I would have won at the next card. Really tense! Captures the energy and tension of Twilight Struggle's gameplay. #boardgames#Watergate
