The same Fred Fielding who was White House counsel in the Nixon White House during Watergate...

Jesus Christ. Unbelievable. Actually, I don't know why I should be surprised.

1. Well, no matter his employers, the guy is GOOD. If you are in a fix and need a primo mouthpiece,
Fred's top of the line. And he needed to lawyer up in a serious way.

Actually, Fred was WHC to REAGAN, not Nixon. He was a schmuck in Nixon's office, working as a grunt for JOHN DEAN, who was WHC under Nixon....

2. The only FIelding I remember was on 'Night Court'


I wonder if they named John Larroquette's character after Fred Fielding?
