Mitchell Magruder details Watergate cover up plan
Magruder testifies that the cover up was conceived in a series of 1972 meetings led by Mitchell and Dean with Liddy Mardian and Larue. He says Nixon likely had no knowledge, notes initial grand scheme to wiretap and abduct radicals, then a scaled down plan approved March 1972. He cites final bugging targets including the DNC, Fontainebleau hotel, and the Democratic nominee’s headquarters.
