Oral Histories: Charles Colson

Charles Colson (October 16, 1931 - April 21, 2012)- who served as Special Counsel to President Richard Nixon -- sat down with Timothy Naftali of the Nixon Presidential Library in 2007 and 2008 for two extended oral history interviews. In excerpts from the first of those interviews, Mr. Colson talks about the secret White House tapes, the Watergate break-in, his relationship with the 37th President, and the day that Richard Nixon resigned from office.

This guy is a cunning criminal.

And you need to do more research on him..

[@pleaseenteraname1103]

You should really read the book born again it’s very interesting, you should actually look at his whole story, he supported Nixon not because he was a criminal because he felt like it was his job to be loyal ultimately that was a bad decision and he pled guilty in court and he ended up in prison, but his postcareer was pretty good.

They all were. Including Ford. Nixon would have stayed to the end if he didn't have a guarantee if a pardon.

[@jefolson6989]

The leap from criminal to Christian only highlights his delusional thinking. They all thought they'd get away with it.

He paid his dues and became a very productive citizen afterwards.
