And my colleagues on this committee know full well that we cannot escape history. That the decision we must jointly make will itself be tested and tried by our fellow citizens, and by history itself. The magnitude of our mission is awesome. Theres no way to understate its importance. Nor to mistake its meaning. We have unsheathed the strongest weapon in the arsenal of congressional power. We personally, members of this committee, have felt its weight, and have perceived its dangers. The framers ...

Now, the purpose of any media to make the news, it is the purpose and the objective of the media to fairly report the news. Now to say as however, many weeks, everything that nixon knew, thats not proof. And i want to pose a point. I wonder what the prosecutor in the United States senator is going to do. I wonder what hes going to do. Is he going to plead his whole case on tapes because he cant use any of the witnesses we have. Any one of them testified no act of wrong doing on the part of the p...

Mr. Railsback . Chairman, thank you, and members of the committee by saying that you, mr. Chairman, i think in a rather difficult assignment with you because you know on many occasions i think you have handled yourself very well. And i think i can say for the most members of the committee that during these six months through the 38 volumes of evidence, the listening to the live witnesses morning, afternoon and night that i can be proud of my judiciary colleagues, most of them. I feel badly as Ch...

Process. But there were the injustices that i saw happening. I always said later, i wish i had gone to prison before i went to the white house. I really wish i had gone to prison before i went to the white house. Because i saw things and know things and could have, in my little mind could have done things that would have helped solve some problems. Can you give us examples . This whole incarceration and how it works. What you do to people. You take these young people and put them in there and yo...

Indicted. So the grand jury is early 73. Then a period of six months when it looks like you might not be indicted. The saturday night massacre is october of 73 . Right. I was indicted in november. So you thought this might go away . Yeah. It started paling in relationship to Everything Else. The dirty tricks thing was just such an amateurish rinky dink thing. Was it wrong . Did segretti do things wrong . Yes. He admitted he did. He took responsibility for it. Did i lie . I didnt think so. Did i ...

Nothing that has happened since has changed that picture. And hes a very interesting character. Interesting isnt the right word. I did my best to undermine him. What did you do other than find john oneil . Probably called veterans organization. It was no black operation. I passed on information to reporters and others information that wasnt complimentary. Hes got this idea that i ran this big campaign. He said this in the 2004 electi election, he said the bush people are pulling all the stops ou...

He could have a drink or two before dinner and always a bottle of wine, vintage wine, very good wine that he would save for himself and the other people at the table would be left with the drinks. I thought he went too far. There was never a time when i was with him was he not in complete control of his faculties. He was never dangerous. There were two or three phone calls, i suspect have been listened to when i thought he was over the edge. April 30th when he fired haldeman. He sure sounded it....

National committee, i would love to do. Or the labor department. I think those were the things, theyre in the file somewhere. I was the first one of the senior staff to be invited up to camp david for dinner with the president. So i come in, and its just very cheerful evening, the wine is flowing, and the steaks are great.
