Philip Allen Lacovara, a former president of the D.C. Bar, served as counsel to the Watergate special prosecutor. I never thought that I would say this, but I am feeling nostalgic for President Richard M. Nixon. I have previously written my view that, like Nixon, President Trump has implicated himself in obstructing justice with his own public statements. Nevertheless, unlike Nixon, Trump was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and has exploited his family’s power and wealth from his earliest days. Nixon also had enough decency and respect for the office to cloak his conniving in secret.
