After checking with his boss (the Attorney General of Tennessee, a Democrat himself), Alex Shipley gives Bernstein the story. The man who approached him was an old Army buddy named Donald Segretti. He details Segretti’s attempts to get him to participate in the political espionage schemes they had planned. He was assured the he’d get a job in the Nixon administration after the re-election, but Shipley doesn’t have proof Segretti was working directly for Nixon. Segretti had said he was the head coordinator for the operation, and Shipley confirm Segretti travelled extensively and was well funded.
