Was Justice Served? Jawaroski could have gone after Nixon

     Jaworski was appointed Special Prosecutor during the Watergate hearings, after his predecessor, Archibald Cox, was fired by Nixon in what became known as the Saturday Night Massacre.

    Jaworski was a Texan and a little known fact about him is that he prosecuted some German POW's during WWII accused of killing one of their fellow prisoners whom they felt was a traitor.
The seven were sentenced to death by hanging and were buried at the prison cemetery at Fort Leavenworth.

     Jaworski took the bold step of appealing to the Supreme Court when Nixon wouldn't turn over the incriminating tapes which would have proved that Nixon was aware there was a cover-up about the Watergate break-in.

     The Court ruled that the tapes must be turned over, and when they were, there were large gaps Nixon (or someone) had erased.  This was Nixon's downfall and he resigned before he could be impeached.

       When, five years later, Jaworski was interviewed by Ray Miller, Jaworski stated he could have indicted Nixon based on the Grand Jury's decision.       (note to self:  review Reed's interview with the judge to explore further).
