There are pockets of incompetence. Sometimes these jurisdictions are resource starved. It was not only Brenda Stites in Broward County and the stories of her incompetence. A whole chapter in my book, just incredible, but i would like to point to detroit, michigan, if you look in 2016. You may remember jill stein tried to have a recount conducted there, and a recount revealed just an incredible amount of incompetence, the way votes were counted in detroit. That recount was eventually abandoned and there was no findings of malfeasance, but plenty of findings of incompetence. When there is incompetence, it finds a base those distrustful of the election to believe the election is not fairly run. A poll this week from suffolk indicates the majority of democrats and republicans are concerned that if their side kind ofhere was some wrong doing and how the election was run. , whether that is russian interference, which were copied by democrat operatives in the special election in alabama andee
The one that ended his presidency when it did surface because they did do a cover up. How to that 18. 5 minute gap happened. It is pretty clear from the expert panel that there was an intentional situation. And i decided to put an appendix who had access, the fact that there were five to nine who intentionally erase the content. It occurs on a tape on june 20, 1972 which is his first day back in the office. It is his first conversation after the arrest. And i think it is very flexible. Its something because of the timing of when this comes up that again shows his defense that he knew nothing about until march 21 is alive. But it is ironic that more conversations that same week occurred, this happened to be one and he had to flush it out and that is when they decided to erase it. I also included everyone who had access to that tape at that time and it runs with some people that are wellknown, some that are still alive. When was the taping system and play in the white house . No, it wasn
The president s dirty dealings. But it wasnt coulson in the long runful he was not uninvolved run. He was not uninvolved but he was not directly involved. I did have a sinking feeling, and it took me only nanoseconds to put together once i found out a few more facts what had gone on and that it had been gordon liddys operation over at the Reelection Committee. Host john dean your books called the nixon defense what he knew and when he knew it. What did the president know and when did he know it . Guest wow, thats a [laughter] to do that book, peter i had to go through and transcribe all the nixon watergate conversations. I pulled all the conversations out, i cataloged them first which nobody had ever done, and then i had a team of transcribers help me so i could go through and really follow from daytoday to day what nixon knew when he knew it and what he did about it. One of the surprises, there are lots of surprises, in fact, theres not a page of that book that i dont learn something
