former military prosecutor and civil lawyer, Segretti ran a campaign of
political sabotage against the Democrats for Nixon's reelection effort. In
1974, he served 4 1/2 months in prison after pleading guilty to three
misdemeanor counts of distributing illegal campaign literature, including a
letter falsely claiming that former senator Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson had
fathered an illegitimate child with a 17-year-old girl.
Segretti briefly threw his hat into the ring as a candidate for Superior
Court judge in Orange County, Calif., in 1995 but withdrew after a week,
saying the shadow of Watergate hung over the campaign. "It was supposed to
be a low-key campaign and a non-partisan office," Segretti said. "But it
wasn't treated that way."
