Somebody would recognize her and spread the story. Also, if Watergate really was all about her, Dean would be made more nervous, rather than reassured, by having her there.
He would have been well aware of her past when he married her.
Actually, that "call girl" thing isn't what the original theory was. It's how the Internet has embellished it.
It means that Liddy believed Dean when Dean told him that Nixon had ordered the burglary.
That's questionable. Any president wants plausible deniablity.
But if Liddy he had to read a book to find out that Nixon didn't order the surveillance he's probably not an expert on what was going on.
It seems to me that you have a limited knowledge of what’s in the book.
It's long on speculation and short on actual evidence. But people don't see that when they really want to accept a theory.
“Somebody would recognize her and spread the story.”
The only people who would recognize Mo Dean as a call girl were people who would implicate themselves if they had talked about it.
“Actually, that “call girl” thing isn’t what the original theory was. It’s how the Internet has embellished it.”
Actually it is. Apparently you didn’t read Silent Coup.
“That’s questionable. Any president wants plausible deniablity.”
Liddy himself says that’s what he believed. You don’t seem very familiar with this stuff.
“But if Liddy he had to read a book to find out that Nixon didn’t order the surveillance he’s probably not an expert on what was going on.”
Liddy would only be an expert on the parts of Watergate that he himself participated in. Which didn’t include the planning. But he did know what Dean had told him. And he could compare what he knew with what Colodny and Gettlin uncovered in their research.
“It’s long on speculation and short on actual evidence. But people don’t see that when they really want to accept a theory.”
Speaking of long on speculation and short on actual evidence, I don’t think that you’ve ever read Silent Coup. You appear to be regurgitating opinions second hand. The book is loaded with evidence which you’d know if you had read it.
