Exactly. And Hiss was a commie spy, as was Harry Dexter White. Elitist communist bastards who cost the US a lot of people and materiel. A lot of our soldiers lost their lives as a result.
But, what is missing— not having read this book at this point- is the REASON these factors were easily put into play:
The FACT that Maureen Dean (wife of John Dean who “dumped”, and became self-righteous liar)— was a whore. And Maureen Dean was in the catalog of whores, kept on file at the DNC offices which were needlessly broken into and bugged. The whore connection cannot be ignored as the real reason it all came to pass. Serious, bipartisan sleaze. One can note how quickly the dem machine latched onto Dean, once they knew- and that was a simple procedure with cut-outs. G. Gordon Liddy and many others have addressed this factor, and Dean’s p**sy whipped persona. It’s the little things, always.
The book “Silent Coup” which is endorsed by G Gordon Liddy, makes a good case that the whole operation was run by Dean in order to get the address book listing Dean’s soon to be wife.
I just finished SILENT COUP. Nixon, Haig, Dean—all had skullduggery to hide—wiretaps, etc.—but Dean ordered the DNC break-ins. He also had his fingers in everything—the Bailley trial, etc.—all of it related to Mo Dean’s career as a call-girl. Dean is the great villain in Watergate. Nixon was blameless, and completely deceived from beginning to end.
G. Gordon Liddy used to say that people would compliment him on how well his sons turned out. He explained that “during their most formative years, I was in prison.”
