On October 19, 1973, Nick Akerman and his fellow Watergate investigators
began hoarding whatever documents they could from the office of the special
prosecutor, Archibald Cox. They knew that the next day, Cox planned to
disobey President Richard Nixon and announce before a clutch of reporters
at the National Press Club that he would pursue taped recordings from
inside the Oval Office; they also knew that in doing so, Cox was risking
his job and the fate of the investigation.

“We took everything we could possibly take so we would know exactly where
we were in the investigation,” Akerman, a former assistant special
Watergate prosecutor, remembers. “The concern was we’d all be fired by the
end of it.”
