Dean lied and pinned it on Nixon.
The gap in the tapes is right before Nixon says something like “And this might reveal the whole Cuban thing...” (Some of the “plumbers” were Cubans involved in the Bay of Pigs Fiasco under Kennedy.)
Dean's right - Fox and the internet may have gotten Dean's dirty deeds out there and exonerated Nixon.
Listed in Heidi’s black book are Ben Barnes, future DNC chief John White, Sam Dash, Lowell Weicker, Barry Goldwater Sr. & Jr., Fred Fielding, Jeb Magruder, Maurice Stans and many Texas based LBJ hacks who worked with young Bill Clinton in the Texans for McGovern effort in 1972 (besides Barnes and White). I don’t think it is any coincidence that Taylor Branch, who was Clinton’s top aide in the 1972 Texans for McGovern effort, would later ghost-write John Dean’s book Blind Ambition.
Another strange item. Ida “Maxie” Wells, the DNC secretary who was frequently overheard on the tapped phone of Spencer Oliver become a “traveling secretary” for future president Jimmy Carter in 1974. Wells joined the White House with Carter in 1977.
In early 1972 in the months before Watergate, Governor Jimmy Carter visited Washington at least twice. Once for a winter governor’s conference and a few weeks later for an environmental symposium. The Heidi Rikan call-girl ring specialized in serving out of town visitors.
Bill Clinton was an adjunct professor at New Haven College (later University of New Haven) along with Alfred Baldwin, the man hired by CIA operative James McCord to monitor the bugged phone of Spencer Oliver/Ida “Maxie” Wells.
