According to Gordon Liddy the biggest myth is the ‘why’ of the break-in. The common reason given, that they were there to bug DNC Headquarters.
But Liddy has said for years, and through several defamation trials, the John Dean ordered the break-in, to grab info the DNC had that Dean’s wife and her ex-room mate were hi’dollah hookers who had serviced both Dems and Reps. But the DNC thought it would look bad for hookers to be that close to the WH.
And given the fact that Liddy has stuck to his story and managed to beat the Dean’s law suits repeatedly, I gotta go with Liddy.
One party breaks the law to record another party breaking the law with a hooker party. Go Team America!
After the last 3 years, I don’t know why anyone thinks Watergate was such a big deal.
In ‘The Ends of Power,’ Haldeman maintains that Coulson was the one that ordered the break-in.
You mean Charles Colson? Unless Colson himself had fessed up to it when he was still alive, I don’t believe Haldeman. Post-Watergate, Colson turned out to be the most reputable of the Watergate figures. I’d take his word over that of any of the other conspirators.
If Nixon had been a Democrat, Woodward and Bernstein (especially Red Diaper Baby Bernstein) probably would have investigated local beauty pageants or something else.
