Ep. 18: Liddy, Watergate's Unguided Missile

G. Gordon Liddy’s salience comes from his unmatched centrality to
all major factions participating in this odd drama.   He
worked with the White House,  the CIA
 Plumbers, the Cuban Watergate burglars, John Dean and Jeb
Magruder, even John Mitchell and Attorney General Richard
Kleindeinst.  Moreover, while perhaps duped, Liddy is
brutally honest and in his own strange way highly
principled.  His recounting of his involvement in Watergate
did not emerge until the statute of limitations passed, and he
gives the lie to many other accounts, to a great degree with
innocence and crazed naïveté.  You cannot make up this
character and with Liddy's story, we solve yet another of The
Mysteries of Watergate.
