    Met him once and was shock at how small he was. I pictured him as a huge, intimidating man. I suspect he was bullied and picked on to the point he determined to become the one doing the bullying and learn how to kill a man with a pencil or a drop of pure nicotine. He became powerful and intimidating through the jobs he had.

    • @NGC6144
      @NGC6144 6 месяцев назад +1

      O'Brien was prominent critic of Nixon and so a political opponent. Dean has stated Magruder told him eventually it was just a fishing expedition. I see it as a desperate attempt to get some useful political intelligence since Liddy & company's operations weren't coming up with much of anything. It may have seen as natural to some like Magruder that there has got to be something of value in headquarters of the opposition. Equally as fruitless which didn't come as a surprise to some on the republican side of things. Going back year or so before the break-in, Nixon had wanted to exploit the corrupt financial ties between O'Brien and Howard Hughes for political points which is regarded as generally true. Maybe that's why Watergate isn't touched on very much in O'Brien's Wiki page. Even though that probably did not directly play into the motives for the Watergate break-in but it touches upon the kind of corruption on the Democrat's side the Nixon Administration was after to exploit; Some loyal democrats maybe making sure O'Briens wiki page is "properly" edited to minimize attention in that area.

    • @jmarlow2153
      @jmarlow2153 5 месяцев назад

      O'Brian was the head of the Democratic National Committee.
      Nixon had corrupt ties to Hughes himself.
      Nixon had encouraged lies and dirty tricks since his first campaign for office.He was obsessed with those who opposed him,and sought ways to discredit them.
      Nixon created the poisonous and illegal culture in his administration,and Mitchell and Magruder put pressure on Liddy to act.
      Liddy had been in the FBI,which had long experience of illegal wiretaps and illegal entry,but he was not a practitioner of it...he worked at FBI HQ.
      He developed insane schemes to help Nixon out,and bears heavy responsibility for the need for a cover up and the destruction of the Nixon Presidency.
      A nut case.

Not the country, but certain people in a political party. He was not serving the country. And Hunt was a criminal on behalf of the US government and felt empowered to Machiavelli his way to fame and power. Not for the country, but for self aggrandising and power.

    If even 10% of the claims made re GEMSTONE are accurate, Liddy was as nutty as any of Trump's (remaining) inner circle. I get that Gaslit is a work of fiction, and that there are two sides to every story, but the producers didnt seem to have a problem painting Liddy as a totally gonzo 'soldier' obsessed with thoughts that went way beyond ensuring Nixon an election victory. Whatever reckoning this man came to after Watergate, he deserved the sentence originally handed down to him IMO.

To even remotely compare people such as Liddy to or with Trump while being intellectually AWOL with the present day so called "elected" political criminals and buffoons omnipresent in the socialist, progressive unhinged left formerly the democrat party NOT to mention the last five democrat presidential occupants. You are either still stuck in your 1970's undergrad poly sci 101 class, which has never exceeded maturity to any level beyond high school academia extant at it's apogee probably in say 1965. Both exceed anything extant today in high school or university. Thus you fail on both counts from whichever pubescent vantage point you speak from..

    Convinced of the way it went down: Haldeman tells Dean to start a legit "political intellengence" plan. Dean ends up with Hunt and Liddy as per Erlichman recommend. Liddy submits "extrodinary plan" (Gemstone)... rejected twice by Mitchell, Haldeman says no as well. Hunt and Liddy see Colson (friend to Hunt) for help. Colson (i.e. the White House) calls Magruder and says get the plan moving. This is taken (incorrectly) as a green light from the White House, Mitchell says go. Colson tells Magruder and Liddy to get dirt on Larry O'Brien.... We all know the rest of the story.

      in the Columbia Plaza Hotel. Dean told Liddy to find out this info via tapes and the whole thing is History.
      An ex- CIA guy named McCord taped the doors open after the entry eventually this caught the guards' attention, etc.
      It is suspected this was part of a CIA plot to get rid of Nixon.

      All that paranoia for nothing. Nixon was reelected in a landslide election in November 1972. The breakin had already occurred in June of that year. Yes, it was his irrational paranoia about what dirt his political opponents had on him that prompted the breakin and his subsequent resignation.

    Liddy was above all a REAL MAN.. something not well comprehended, by many twenty-ish beta male types who get their nails done. The last five years in the Defense Sector, I often had to meet contractors and thus rode on public elevators. For the life of me, IF i didn't glance either way, conversations between males and females were virtually indistinguishable. LIDDY didn't rat anyone out to save his skin. He did his time, and still became a success even more so on the nationally syndicated political talk radio and lecture circuit. Some day you'll be panicking searching for the so called "toxic male" to keep you alive. Good Luck..

      Here you have Dean talking to Nixon(03/17/1972) saying Jeb Magruder was the most responsible for the whole matter. (Mark 23 : 33) ruclips.net/video/3IkTQi-gsn4/видео.html
      I think Magruder likely conceived of going into the Watergate. The earliest reference to breaking into the DNC at Watergate was when Magruder submits the plan for Mitchell's approval at the Key Biscayne meeting. This was before Liddy's plan was approved. Magruder also claims Mitchell approved it at this meeting while other accounts say Mitchell said he would defer judgment on it at some later time.

    I don't believe a word that Gordon Liddy is saying here. Just look at the backgrounds of both Gordon Liddy and Jeb Magruder and tell me which one is lying. Liddy was an intelligence officer. Magruder dealt mostly with finance and public relations.

    • @NGC6144
      @NGC6144 2 года назад

      It's Magruder. Liddy wasn't an intelligence officer. I believe you are mistaking him for his accomplice Howard Hunt who worked for the CIA. Liddy's book Will details this scenario although here, Liddy seems to have conflated two separate meetings with Magruder into a simplified version; One can tell age was catching up to Liddy here. Liddy had always been humble about his 'operational' failure in the matter and at the time agreed to take the blame for the whole matter. Thanks to McCord in his letter to judge Sirica, that wasn't possible. Magruder committed perjury in his testimony. He later in life admitted that he lied in his book. Accounts from Liddy and others that worked under Magruder was that he was a jerk with big ego issues.
