Dick Tuck, Donald Segretti and Political Dirty Tricks
The history of political "dirty tricks" is explored through the career of Dick Tuck, who famously pranked Richard Nixon for decades. This legacy continued with Donald Segretti, who was hired by the Nixon administration to perform "rat fucking" operations against Democrats. These tactics included forging letters to sabotage the 1972 presidential campaign of Edmund Muskie.
