Most every agent that has talked about Carter has had nothing good to say about how he treated “the help”.
Curious items about Jimmy Carter. The woman who was the target of the Watergate break-in, Ida “Maxie” Wells, would move to Georgia following her DNC Watergate stint to become Governor Carter’s traveling secretary for his presidential campaign. Carter brought Maxie into the White House as his Oval Office secretary.
Governor Jimmy Carter visited Washington DC twice in 1972 in the months leading up to the Watergate break-ins. Maxie was secretary for the Democratic Governor’s Association and also the director of Democratic State Chairmen. Google Gordon Liddy Maxie Wells to get his take on Maxie’s Watergate activities
Carter’s main speechwriter for his 1974-76 presidential campaign was Patrick Anderson, who was the ghost-writer for Jeb Magruder’s error rich book An American Life (John Dean’s ghost-writer was Clinton’s close pal Taylor Branch). In 1968 Anderson wrote speeches for surrogates and celebrities in the RFK campaign. One of his charges in the 1968 RFK campaign was Philip Mackin Bailley, a lawyer-pimp connected to a Madame named Heidi Rikan who many now think was linked to John Dean and Watergate. See books Secret Agenda, Silent Coup, The Strong Man and White House Call girl.
Many other links with Carter and Watergate and his very improbable rise to power.
