It may be the picture that does him in. Imagine the Watergate burglars, pausing in the middle of the break-in to take a group shot in Larry O’Brien’s office, bugging equipment hanging out of their pockets. The shot of the former president’s office floor, with the files marked “TOP SECRET,” “SECRET-SCI,” and “HOLY SHITE!
