You mean the indictment is supposed to come AFTER the trial?

Maybe there was something to Liddy's claim that there was a call-girl ring associated with the DNC and John Dean's future wife?? Have THESE tapes ever been released or were they deep-sixed to history??

"By contrast, the device planted in the telephone of R. Spencer Oliver, Jr. - an obscure DNC official whose office directly overlooked Virginia Avenue, and on whose line the wiretap monitor, Alfred Baldwin, later reported hearing conversations so sexually graphic that, as Baldwin testified, eight of ten lay people would believe them to be associated with a call-girl ring - did work and was monitored"

I wish conservatives would stop defending this guy. We will always owe him a debt of gratitude for fighting the communists in the 50’s, but otherwise he was an awful liberal. As Charles Murry points out in “losing ground”, Nixon was the one who had the initial results in from the Great Society and could have killed it, but didn’t.

Was Nixon set up?

Richard Nixon Reconsidered:

Yeah, he was a crook, but far less so than his immediate predecessor, and probably less so than most politicians at that level. Furthermore, his motives were considerably less reprehensible - his crimes were committed in support of his team members who committed crimes claimed to be in support of him (depending on who you trust least, it may have all been for Dean & by Dean), and not for his own gain. He could have easily survived had he hung his underlings out to dry, which is what most politicians did and do in similar circumstances.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

He might or might not have been a crook, but he definitely was a government-expanding leftist who did much damage to the country. Case in point: the EPA, wage-and-price controls, use of the IRS against political enemies...

Schorr was always a POS.
There are many references to R Spenser Oliver in the 1991 book “SILENT COUP” BY Colodny and Gettlin who believed the that John Dean (now the darling of the current newsliars) set up the break-in to get photos of his then girlfriend and (later wife Mo) whose picture was in the photo book of available escorts. Liddy, on his radio show, interviewed the cops who captured him and the others during the books distribution. The interview was a hoot, they backed up everything Liddy contended. Liddy did not have a clue that John Dean was using him; he also did not have any respect for McCord if I recall correctly. Liddy also beat Dean in a slander suit Dean filed against him. Dean is pure S.

Nixon was a crook, a leftist, and political con artist.

There is a reason why Reagan loathed him so much.

Reagan hated him with such a passion, that he just could not, for even a moment, be nice to him (respectful, yes, nice or friendly, nope).

[A.A. Cunningham]

He was a Keynesian which is just another way to spell crook.
