How can anyone run for the presidency who was a member of a committee investigating Watergate, who was leaking information to Richard Nixon! Included in that information was information regarding what the Special Prosecutor had, specifically Nixon's tapes! Nixon called Thompson "Dumb" and had his lawyer go over the questions he wanted Thompson to ask. Perhaps Nixon was right, not only about Thompson, but anyone who would vote for him!
