Well, I think that the Plumbers crimes did originate over the attempt to find what LBJ had on the GOP breaking up his peace initiative. Nixon was really nutty about that. Rightfully so.
As per the actual Watergate break ins, to me that is still murky. I think its was a combination of both O'Brien and Oliver. That is the Hughes connection with O"brien and the attempt to get McGovern into the nomination, which Oliver was trying to stop.
But as for the arrests that night, I think that was a deliberate sabotage job.
Waldron's book gets all of the above wrong in spades.
As per Telly, I think that theory and that Mathis book are nutty.
