One letter from Barbara Cohen to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 25, 1973. Cohen supports the impeachment of President Nixon. She writes, "the firing of the 'independent' special prosecutor Archibald Cox in order to 'head-off a Constitutional crisis' suggests to me that Richard M. Nixon is not interested in resolving a constitutional question via constitutional means but would rather take the law into his own hands."
