==Cancer on the Presidency==
==Cancer on the Presidency==
This goes back to [[John Dean]]'s "There is a cancer growing on the Presidency" speech [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,907488-9,00.html]. Dean informed Nixon of how details of the coverup were becoming known. The so-called "smoking gun" tape only relates to Nixon's approval of diverersion of funds from [[CREEP]] to the burglars families for legal fees. Subsequent release of audiotapes and transcripts[http://nixon.archives.gov/forresearchers/find/tapes/watergate/trial/exhibit_1.pdf] corroborate in context that Nixon had no prior knowledge; transcript of JUNE 23, 1972 FROM 10:04 TO 11:39 AM, 6 days after the breakin, Nixon & Halderman discuss who did have prior knowledge, who approved the breakin, and Nixon is informed for the first time who's idea it was.
