Talk:Leon Jaworski

Untitled
How could he have supported HW Bush's presidency when Jaworski died in 82?

Who appointed him special prosecutor?
This article states that he was appointed by Nixon, but the Watergate article says he was appointed by Bork. If someone could confirm which is true or clarify that would be peaches.

Watergate Section
I found the chronology confusing. For example, is Alexander Butterfield's testimony regarding the existence of the White House taping system, July 13, 1973 (?) the source of Jaworski's knowledge? When was the substance of the tapes released to the public? In the second paragraph of the section, in what year does this "August" reference fall ... 1973? If so, why is Jaworski, presumably in 1974, jumping over the appellate court system to the Supreme Court? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.115.145 (talk) 07:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I always thought that the tapes were handed over before Jaworski came into office. I could be wrong though... Gerard von Hebel (talk) 20:59, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Turns out I am wrong, although I do think Nixon decided to hand (at least some of) them over just before Jaworski was appointed. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 21:05, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Photo for Leon Jaworski
Can someone verify that this is actually a Library of Congress photo? I found it here. Eegorr (talk) 20:33, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Was Jaworski gay???
Was Jarwoski gay? Did he ever marry? My understanding is that he was gay, but the article makes no mention of this, and no mention of family/wife. Does anybody know? Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.21.54 (talk) 18:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Jaworski had been married to "Jeanette" for decades at the time of his service as Watergate special prosecutor, according to his book Bold textThe Right and the Power. (Jaworski & Jeanette had long since agreed not to discuss pending cases, which sheltered her from Nixonian harassment during Watergate --the White House was threatening to send the FBI to interrogate spouses of Special Prosecutorial staff.)

As this article notes, his grandson is a mayor in Texas. Jakob3 (talk) 14:55, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

As far as I call tell, everyone (everyone, everybody, all) in history was gay to those under 30. 2601:206:4282:8DD0:0:0:0:B7C7 (talk) 22:51, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Citations lacking
There is a deficit of citations of sources in this article. This is particularly true for the Watergate section.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:10, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

64 tapes
Article reads "Jaworski subsequently subpoenaed sixty-four taped conversations." Are these the same 64 tapes as those that Cox subpoenaed? If so, it should read " the sixty-four". If not, an explanation would be useful. --Macrakis (talk) 15:53, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
