that I brought to light in the New York Times, he said, despite the stupid and terribly wrong things they did in Watergate and elsewhere, they deserve to be remembered well for what they did here.

But the plumbers also discovered that this then 28-year-old yeoman, a Navy yeoman, now 82, who declined to be interviewed for this article,

Yeoman Charles Radford, who had been attached to the Nixon-Kissinger National Security Council as a Navy-trained stenographer and courier and typist and body man, that he had been secretly rifling through Henry Kissinger's briefcase, through burn bags, waste baskets, and basically five fingering every document he could get his hands on.

Within a year's time, he delivered 5,000 documents to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Back in 2000, when the Nixon tapes were released of the meeting in December 1971, where President Nixon was informed for the first time, guess what?

The plumbers have discovered that the Joint Chiefs of Staff have been spying on you and Henry Kissinger for a year.

Those tapes came out in the year 2000.

I was the only researcher who showed up at the time to listen to them.

And I published an article called Nixon and the Chiefs about how President Nixon navigated that crisis in the Atlantic Monthly in 2002.

In 1975, after he was out of office and had been pardoned by his successor, Gerald R. Ford, for any crimes he committed or may have committed while president of the United States, ex-president Nixon had to testify before members of a grand jury out in California for 11 hours over two days.

That was June 1975.

That transcript stayed secret until the year 2011, 36 years after the grand jury examination, and 17 years after President Nixon died.

And in the year 2011, when that transcript was released, I and some other reporters covered it, but seven pages were held classified.

and finally uh gosh 15 years after that i have now obtained those seven pages that were classified from ex-president nixon's grand jury testimony in 1975 and they dealt with this whole subject of the military spying on the president

The FBI was also spying on Nixon.

CIA was also spying on Nixon.

This has all been borne out by declassified documents and scholarship published since 1974.

That's why I call Nixon the most spied on president in modern times.

And these new documents place Watergate

the scandal that caused Nixon's resignation in an entirely different light.
