 Guardian Century | 1970-1979 | President's aides accused
Both Time magazine and the Washington Post connect one of President Nixon's close personal aides with the activities of Mr Donald Segretti, a Los Angeles lawyer, who had earlier been identified as one of the undercover agents working for the committee to re-elect the President.

The Washington Post, quoting the sworn testimony of Segretti's friend, Lawrence Young, also a Californian attorney, alleges that White House aides rehearsed Segretti in the testimony he should give to the grand jury investigating the Watergate affair and promised him that he would be given an easy time by the prosecutors.

As we discussed last week, Rove is certainly up to the challenge, as he cut his political teeth working with Nixon’s dirty tricks man Donald Segretti in 1972.

Surely Karl Rove appreciates, like his mentor Segretti did in ’72, that his sitting Republican president with a controversial war at stake might benefit from some dirty tricks.
