	Robert Mardian
		Mardian was also chairman of the advisory committee when Ronald Reagan ran for the governor of California in 1966.
		Mardian was found guilty but at his appeal he argued that his actions were covered by lawyer-client privilege and the details of his participation in the cover-up revealed in Nixon's White House tapes were inadmissible as hearsay.
		Mardian, a former assistant attorney general, consistently denied that he was involved in Nixon administration attempts to cover up its involvement in the break-in and attempted bugging of the Democratic National Headquarters office at the Watergate complex June 17, 1972.

		In 1972 Mardian was "coordinator" of the Committee to Re-Elect The President, whose acronym was the tellingly apposite Creep.
		Although Mardian claimed to have been unaware of the activities of the so-called "plumbers" and not to have been involved in any cover-up, he was convicted in January 1975 of obstruction of justice.
		Mardian's proclaimed innocence flew in the face of his zeal, as an assistant attorney general for internal security, for wiretapping and prosecuting anyone, including journalists, opposed to the Vietnam War, or indeed to Nixon.

	Robert Mardian; Attorney Caught Up in Watergate Scandal - washingtonpost.com
		Robert C. Mardian, 82, the attorney for President Richard Nixon's Committee to Re-Elect the President whose conviction of conspiracy to obstruct justice in the Watergate scandal was overturned on appeal, died of lung cancer July 17 at his vacation home in San Clemente, Calif.
		Mardian should have been given a separate trial because his attorney of first choice became ill after the trial began and because of his more limited role in the crime.
		Mardian told the Senate Select Watergate Committee in 1973 that four days after the Watergate burglary, Liddy told him that he was acting on the "express authority of the president of the United States with the assistance of the Central Intelligence Agency." That was the first time, Mr.

		Mardian was one of the seven Nixon aides indicted in Watergate, in his case for his role on the night of the botched break-in as he scrambled to cover up the suspects’ connection to the GOP.
		Instead, Mardian used his time to explain the doctrine of the Executive’s “inherent power” to conduct warrantless searches and wiretaps in order to preserve national security, warning the Supreme Court that there’s no way courts can be competent to appreciate the full complexities and nuances of national security investigations to determine whether surveillance is necessary.
		Robert Mardian’s rebuttal was arguably perjury before the Supreme Court when he stood up and assured the Court that “neither this President nor any prior President, to my knowledge, has authorized electronic surveillance to monitor the activities of an opposite political group.” Kinoy’s claim, when rebutted by Mardian, seemed like hyperbole.

		Robert Mardian was among the most intriguing minor actors in the Watergate scandal - a high Justice Department and Nixon campaign official who was convicted for his part in the scandal, only to have the sentence overturned on appeal.
		Mardian was in California preparing for a fund-raising dinner when he learnt that the five burglars had been arrested at the Watergate complex.
		Prosecutors contended that on the orders of John Mitchell, Creep's director, Mardian telephoned G. Gordon Liddy, one of the burglars, telling him to contact the Attorney General, Richard Kleindienst, to have the leader of the group, James McCord, released from custody before his identity was discovered.

		Mardian, who noted he had worked for the campaign for only about 35 days and dealt only with civil suits resulting from the break-in, was convicted of one count of conspiracy in 1975 and sentenced to ten months to three years in prison.
		Mardian, who died at age 82 after a long bout with lung cancer, was much more than a bit player in Watergate.
		As general counsel to the old Department of Health, Education, and Welfare under Nixon, Mardian was the person conservatives went to for help in a department whose top two executives were not trusted by the right—Secretary Robert Finch and Deputy Secretary John Veneman.

		The appeal of the conviction of Robert Mardian in the Watergate conspiracy trial before Judge John Sirica is the topic of this intriguing book.
		Written by a member of the defense team that prepared Mardian's appeal, "Watergate Victory" provides a unique defense perspective on the Watergate case while also discussing legal issues that were central to the Watergate case but which have largely been ignored.
		Issues that are analyzed include the admissibility of the White House tapes at the trial, the ethical obligation of the attorneys for the Committee to Re-elect the President to keep confidential what they had learned from Gordon Liddy, and issues involving multiple conspiracies, variance and severance.

		Last Updated: Friday, Jul 21 2006 5:15 AM Robert Mardian, who became embroiled in the Watergate scandal while serving as a lawyer for President Nixon's re-election committee, has died.
		In March 1974, Mardian and six others - Mitchell; Parkinson; top White House aides H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman; Charles W. Colson, a former special counsel to Nixon; and Gordon Strachan, Haldeman's assistant - were indicted.

	[No title]
		More than twenty years after the trial, Mardian, a minor figure in the Watergate affair, is best remembered, if remembered at all, as a codefendant of the notorious trio of John Mitchell, John Ehrlichman and H.R. "Bob" Haldeman.
		Each overt act associated with the conspiracy of which Mardian was convicted is laid out and the pertinent facts and law are examined.
		Indeed in the book's final chapter Rochvarg asserts, "As to whether Mardian was guilty, if I were on the jury, I would have voted not guilty." Clearly, not all readers will share the author's belief in Mardian's innocence, but the book does raise serious doubts that cannot be easily ignored.

		In the wake of these memoranda Hoover acquiesced and permitted Sullivan to limit the access to the transcripts and authorizations of wiretaps to a few highly placed officials in the domestic-intelligence division, which excluded DeLoach.
		When the White House strategists feared that Hoover might attempt to use the transcripts of these wiretaps to flmail the White House, Mardian arranged through Sullivan to transfer them from the FBI to John Ehrlichman's safe in the White House.
		Realizing that his days with the FBI were numbered, and believing that the present administration of the FBI had become inefficient, if not corrupt, Sullivan pressed Dean and Mardian to create another domestic-intelligence unit.
