Sunday marks 40 years since burglars at the Watergate complex were discovered and arrested. The break-in triggered a chain of events that ultimately resulted in the resignation of President Richard Nixon. G. Gordon Liddy, the man in charge of the Watergate plot, gives us his unique insight into how the Watergate operation originated and why the operation really targeted the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate complex. Liddy tells us why he became famous for not talking in the wake of his arrest, why he was not at all surprised when John Dean “cracked” and why he took on the mission in the first place.
