  CHAPTER THIRTEEN - EGIL KROGH'S VERSION
By early 1971 Krogh found that the administration's entire effort was leaking like a sieve, with the various agencies releasing to congressional subcommittees and the press, information which advanced their own programmatic interests and undermined those of competing agencies.
According to Donfeld, Krogh then asked him to prepare a memorandum for the president which would provide "evidence of incompetency." Donfeld investigated and found that Brown was a close friend of' Elliot Richardson's, and that Richardson would not be easily persuaded to fire Brown to please the White House.
In the summer of 1970, both Egil Krogh and John Ehrlichman visited Vietnam and discovered that it was an open secret that a large number of American servicemen in Saigon were using heroin.

 BRAINSTORM NW
Egil “Bud” Krogh, former aide to Richard Nixon, was the first of the Nixon administration to serve prison time in a series of ethical lapses and criminal acts that soured the country on the integrity of its governance system.
Krogh says he realizes that his youth and inexperience were contributing factors to his error, but believes that young executives can learn to filter their orders through a moral prism before acting.
Krogh says the lessons of his past and a more contemporary history of Enron’s collapse often play in the back of his mind, prompting him to look for those second and third-order consequences of decisions.

 Chapter 6 - The Education of Egil Krogh
As soon as he returned to Washington, Krogh called Graham Watt, the deputy mayor of the District, and Police Chief Jerry Wilson, and ordered them to prepare immediately a report on what could be done in the District in terms of improving the police force and reducing crime, at least statistically.
Even at that point, however, Krogh realized that though pouring resources into the District of Columbia on an emergency basis (and changing statistics-reporting methods) could bring about an appreciable improvement in at least the crime statistics in the capital, these measures could not be reasonably expected to ameliorate crime in the rest of the nation.
Krogh, however, was persuaded by his staff that the "crackdown" would drive most addicts into "treatment programs," where they would be effectively taken off the streets.

 The Bete-noire strategy
Krogh later explained, "The president felt that Mitchell would represent the law and-order image that had been developed" by the "speech-writing staff" and would effectively use their "language of crime control" to stir public reactions.
As for the "political law-and-order bills" that Mitchell exhorted Congress to pass, Krogh then explained, "It was my view that while these bills would suggest a tough law-and-order demeanor by the administration, the legislation itself did not provide an enhanced ability to the police department or to the courts to reduce crime as such.
For example, Krogh's young staff assistant Jeffrey Donfeld complained to Attorney General Mitchell in 1970 that some of his statements were being misinterpreted by the public as calls for political repression, and suggested that the administration's rhetoric on law enforcement could be toned down so as to avoid any confusion.

 [CTRL] [17] The Great Heroin Coup
The groups' key figures included: Egil Krogh (chief Plumber)—who followed John Erlichman (for whose law firm he had worked part time) to the White House in 1968 within months of his graduation from the University of Washington Law School.
State Department narcotics advisor Nelson Gross, chosen to supervise the joint actions, was later sentenced to two years for attempted bribery and income tax evasion.[7] Egil Krogh was less than satisfied with existing narcotics efforts, especially those of the CIA, whose intelligence reports, according to Ingersoll, were decisive for the work of the BNDD.
Krogh's dissatisfaction was expressed to Hunt, who immediately proposed an Office of National Narcotics Intelligence (ONNI) where all narcotics intelligence reports would be analyzed and follow-up actions decided.[8] Hunt told Krogh he could enlist for the office experienced CIA figures, starting with Lucien Conein at its head.[9] Nixon, however, chose William C. Sullivan instead.

“When Egil ‘Bud’ Krogh was just 31 years old, he directed President Richard Nixon’s ‘Plumbers’ unit, a group charged with protecting classified information.
Krogh authorized the infamous 1971 break-in that spiraled into the Watergate scandal that put Krogh in jail and decimated the careers of countless others, not the least of which was Nixon’s.
