White House Telephone
President Richard Nixon talks with Chuck Colson about the growing Watergate scandal. Colson warns Nixon that there could possibly be an obstruction of justice charge because of the scandal. They praise White House Legal Counsel John Dean's handling of the Watergate matter, but Colson also suggests that Nixon's hire a lawyer to work on the case. In their opinion, what Dean did "had to be done." They also discuss Watergate defendant E. Howard Hunt.
(This is an excerpt from a longer conversation. The excerpt was used during the Watergate trials. I have posted all that I currently have of it.)

Wow! At the end you hear that Nixon knew the Hunt was involved with Kennedy's murder. They are speculating that he won't say anything about the Watergate operation because if he does he will exposed for his involvement in the JFK murder.

I believe in President Richard M. Nixon, and I think the country does, too!

There's a new book(09'), well researched by Russ Baker, "Family of Secrets" that you would like. I don't know why you had so many "thumb downs" when you are closer to the truth than most. The threat to the Oil Depletion Allowance, the Bay of Pigs, firing A. Dulles from the CIA, pissing of the rich elite of the Eastern Establishment, John Dean's ties to the CIA - JFK and Watergate are all connected through GHW Bush.

Bush, Nixon Ruby, Cubans, E Howard Hunt, LBJ, Malcom Wallace, Frank Sturgis. Felix Rodriguez, CIA are ALL involved in killing JFK. Secret Service too...
Oswald found the gun running to supply Bay of Pigs came from FT. Hood Texas (George Notre Jr.) to James Madsen to Jack Ruby. Bush got the CIA involved to make LBJ pres.
