The break-in operations involved the planting of bugs and photographing of documents, and were orchestrated by the intelligence arm of the Committee to Re-elect the President.
Why is it that they had to be after anything in particular, whether material held closely by Lawrence F. O’Brien, dirt on Dean’s fiancee, or information on a kickback scheme involving the Democratic National Convention?
Wouldn’t the bugging and copying of documents be simply to gain any information that would be beneficial to the Campaign to Re-elect the President, whatever they found?
I don’t think so; and Colodny makes a very good case that a) DEAN (not Nixon) ordered the break-in (Liddy confirms, has never been disproven); and b) they weren’t looking in O’Brien’s area, but rather in an insignificant state guy’s area that specifically ONLY related to Maureen Dean and the madam. I think there is something big behind Colodny’s story, but enough time has passed that it will be tougher to prove.
