Enemies to 34

The "Nixon" chapters are, of course, fascinating.  Nixon warns Patrick Gray "never, never, never," to trust anyone, to be ruthless, to remember the Nazis who, after a sniper killed a soldier, lined up entire villages and threatened to shoot them all if they didn't turn over the sniper.  Oh, my.
FBI responsible for the fall of Nixon as they gathered the information which Mark Few and others passed on to NYT.

FBI eventually has to investigate itself, to make sure that in protecting America from terrorist is isn't also taking away American's rights.  One thing I hadn't thought about:  FBI can wiretap foreigners without court approval.  They aren't citizens so the don't get the protection of the constitution.

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Brotherhood

 Showtime -- Providence, two brothers, one aspiring politician the other a crook.  Totally different, but not so much.  Cop (close friend as child) is investigating crooked brother.  Pretty good series.
