Richard Kleindienst (Full) Watergate Hearings Testimony

[@jonchaney]

G Gordon Liddey would often discuss operation gemstone with his cat “Mr. Whiskers.”

RK would make a good AG for today's incoming administration. Trump would love this guy and he's a golfer who has fun in America 🇺🇸 where we live free or Die.

Senator Ervin replied to a golf club as a "golf stick." I wish there were more politicians like him today.

I feel for this man. I was just a kid when Watergate happened and am watching a lot o these videos. I agree Mr. Kleindienst was one of the very few in the Nion administration who at least TRIED to do right. With so many scoundrels about, that alone is to be saluted.

[@DavidKeithWilliams]

Similar to Richard Kleindienst, Pat Gray was an honorable man that was manipulated by the evil and wickedness of Richard Nixon and the criminals working for him. Also, Gray was betrayed by those working for him like Kleindienst was.

[@beachbum1523]

Elliot Richardson was also an honest player in the Nixon administration. He refused to be bullied by Nixon.

Kleindienst was disbarred in 1982

Kleindienst could have blown Watergate open on day one. In treating the case like any other (in suppressing the information Liddy provided at the golf club) he obstructed justice.

[@rayali9854]

This the lightningbolt truth.

[@Patsy_Parisi]

Can’t believe the Senate committee would hire an actor to be the Minority Counsel. Also, isn’t this the committee that discharged a young Hilary Rodham Clinton from its legal group?

This was a good jawn

[@EugeneONeill-pf5bj]

I have watched every witness interrogation available on You Tube and it amazes me how many meetings the witnesses forget they had - when most had multiple secretaries and assistants, likely kept personal calendars, journals and diaries, which would clearly list the name or names of the visitors and time of the meeting.

[@1999glock]

He knew the entire story within hours of the break in.

[@thomaswilliams373]

This is exactly right. Amazing no one on the committee catches him on that…

[@Retroscoop]

The distinguished and outstanding KZbin listener found this a very interesting statement. Someone whose back was strong enough to say no to that bulldozer of an Ehrlichman deserves respect. He also tried to keep his president as much as possible out of the stench, minimizing the way he was disgracefully sacked during the Saturday massacre...

[@fairfaxcat1312]

Ehrlichman’s policies-he was Nixon’s domestic policy advisor-were progressive.

[@Retroscoop]

Can someone explain to me in three sentences what was so important in the leaked Ellsberg files that justified breaking in his psy's office for "national security reasons" ? I mean, there's a lot of talking about these frivolous guys Liddy and Hunt, but did the Ellsberg files really contain lots of information that let's say helped the Vietcong on the field, or calmed down the Soviets in Moscouw about a number of justified or unjustified fears they had ? I have to admit, I never red them, and I assume not many folks here are able to make a solid summary of them ?

[@AzimuthTao]

The Reason Ellsberg was at the top of Nixon's hit list was that the Vietnam protests were the biggest threat to his re-election. Or at least, that's what they thought. They figured the release of the Pentagon papers was fuel to stoke those protest flames even more. Something had to be done to discredit or smear Ellsberg. Sick little worms that they were.

[@johnmeuser9131]

They broke into the psychiatrist office to find out whether his notes could smear Ellsberg in public and label him a kook.

[@AMunoz-rh9cz]

What the files showed was that Nixon had been lying about how he was conducting the Vietnam War to the American people. The lies were extreme. If read by the public, Nixon would not get re-elected. Ellsberg felt that was fundamentally wrong and released them.

[@ButchMcLarty]

Kleindienst says he lost his detailed notes from the two most important legal meetings during his entire life (April 15, 1973). Ya right. Maybe his dog ate his homework. The truth is Nixon ordered both the break-in at Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office and at the Watergate building. This has been confirmed by Jeb Magruder on KZbin video.

[@Retroscoop]

If you want to be seen as an "expert" on the matter, it would be a good thing to get the name of the key figures right. There is no "Ellesburg" involved in the whole case, right, Daniel ?

[@ThomasKossatz]

Sorry, that is a misinformation. There has never been evidence that Nixon ordered the breakin. Be reminded that there has been never an article of impeachment connecting Nixon with the original break in.

@@ThomasKossatz DID NIXON ORDER THE WATERGATE BREAK-IN OR JUST TRY TO HIDE ITS LINKS TO THE WHITE HOUSE?: According to convicted Watergate co-conspirator Jeb Magruder, now a retired Presbyterian minister, President Richard Nixon ordered the Watergate break-in at the office of the Democratic National Party in Washington, DC., in order to tap the telephone(s) of DNP chairman Larry O'Brien and photograph various documents. The date is Thursday, March 30, 1972. This significant admission can be found near the end of this video shortly after 1:48:00.
