Today In Watergate History
Tuesday, July 10, 1973
- John Mitchell testifies before the Senate, but is not forthcoming offering only "I don't recall" as an answer to most questions. He admits Liddy's original proposal for dirty tricks was beyond anything they could believe. When asked why he didn't throw Liddy out immediately, Mitchell says "...in hindsight I not only should have thrown him out of the office, I should have thrown him out of the window." He acknowledges the "White House horrors" include the Huston Plan and Ellsberg break in, and helps to convince many that the investigation will indeed go well beyond the Watergate break in as an isolated incident.
"The Post story is not only fiction but a collection of absurdities."
