Is there a stature of limitations on those type of things?

Yeah it probably expired long ago but I was only being facetious anyway. Everyone knows liberals aren't prosecuted.

He and Bernstein must've had a meeting with the publisher today... "we're screwed, just confirm it".

[Bella_Bru]

You're right, there is no honor in being a rat. He should have used his ability and authority and arrested those committing criminal acts.

[zbigreddogz]

Kinda boring. I was hoping it was gonna be George HW Bush or Pat Buchannan.

Liddy has such intense hatred for Dean -- seemingly justified, seeing what a snake Dean is -- that he would probably accuse him of anything.

AND WIN IN COURT! LOL!

* The true target of the breakin was in fact "NOT" Larry O'Brien's phone, Chairman of the DNC, but that of an escort service the Democrats set up for out of town male visitors.

I heard this years ago on an A & E special about "Watergate". The show's contention was that John Dean set up the break in because his girlfriend's (Maureen, later his wife) name was in the books of that escort service. It had absolutley NOTHING to do with Nixon or his re-election. I've often wondered who convinced Nixon it DID have something to do with him and got the cover-up rolling.
I'll have to read this book.

They want their pockets to be deeper than Felt's throat.

[AFPhys]

you don't believe it? ... sounds like you have to convince woodward now.

[SteveMcKing]

Did he break any laws? He must be prosecuted if he did.

[Mo1]

Isn't this guy supposedly senile?

It was mentioned on another thread that Charlie Gibson mentioned it

[processing please hold]

I hear ya. That is definitely an upside to this story.

[beyond the sea]

Woodward is lying.

[Miss Behave]

"Woodward Confirms Carl Bernstein Is A Doofus"

LOL, kingattax. Right on!

[ex-snook]

"Nixon passed over him for director."

Have you seen who appointed Felt to the FBI in the first place?

[beyond the sea]

He must be prosecuted if he did. ---

I totally agree. But I think this is all a charase. This guy was not Shallow Moat.

Nixon did a lot of things that were not part of the Conservative game plan and we sure don't need to embrace him as one of our own. However, by a very wide margin his enemies came from the Left, not the Right. They never forgave him for his role in exposing Communists in the government, and this drove the Left's fanatical and almost irrational hatred of Nixon, even though many of his domestic policies fit right in with big government Democrat ideals.

"Everyone knows liberals aren't prosecuted."

sigh, It does make for good day dreams while i sit at work.

Liddy just repeated that on MSNBC a few minutes ago. He also said that Dean was his boss and planned the other break in.
