Today In Watergate History
Wednesday, July 05, 1972
- Gray asks Felt if the investigation could be limited to the burglars along with Hunt and Liddy, but Felt tells him it will go much higher the further they dig. Felt sees that Gray will likely keep the full truth from coming out leading him to find another outlet for this information.
- Al Baldwin strikes a deal with the US Attorney's Office, and he goes on to explain the details of his brief stint working for CRP including listening to recorded conversations from the DNC and giving the logs to McCord.
"[When asked why he didn't throw Liddy out immediately] In hindsight I not only should have thrown him out of the office, I should have thrown him out of the window."
John Mitchell | Former Attorney General and Nixon's Campaign Manager
