All the President's Men

Watch the DVD "All the President's Men" with Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman.  Also read the book "All the President's Men" by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward.   It wasn't the crimes that brought down Richard Nixon - it was the cover-up.

Richard Nixon used warm words of praise for Haldeman and Ehrlichman in announcing their departures.

The President spoke of Haldeman and Ehrlichman as "two of my closest friends and most trusted assistants in the White House."

Donald Trump called Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn a "wonderful man" after Trump announced his departure.  "I think it's really sad thing that he was treated so badly."
