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 you collectify them. If they have a drug issue and they are in there and theres more drugs, you are creating an incubator effect rather than separating them out and giving them some kind of Halfway House thats clean on the outside and not putting them into these facilities together. Its endless. The system is so screwed up. Im not saying they are not very smart and wise people trying to work on this problem and people who understand it better than i do. Im sure thats true.

And mitchell said, mr. President elect, i cant go with you. And a tear comes down his face. And he says, ive got to go to connecticut and figure out what to do about martha. She was in an institution up in connecticut at that point. So her problem really was severe then. And she gets out. Shes in this washington environment with all this stuff going on. And it was just a tragic story. And she was not a well person. You mentioned you were a point of contact . She liked to call the president. She liked to call my president. So she would call. And the system had been arranged by which i would get marthas calls, and i would talk to her and act accordingly. Whatever the plan was. I would also call over and let john know that she had called. But she would call and say, i want to talk to my president. I would say he was in a conference or on the phone. Can i take a message . I want to talk to him. You have him call me, and so forth. Then i would call her back 20 minute s later and say, mrs. M
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 try to mislead the grand jury . There was no question, by the way, when you read the grand jury thing, that im evading telling them that haldeman and ehrlichman called me in there and told me. When it finally got down to the question and they asked it, i told them. I told them i had been called in and that they had told me to hire him. But you can see me wondering through there trying not to say that when you read it. Trying not to say that haldeman and nixon or haldeman and ehrlichman. Haldeman

It doesnt really matter whether or not its the Campaign Committee that asks or the judge that asks, the judge is going to know at the end of the day who his friends are and who are not his friends.
