“A character of supreme intrigue”

Fun facts

The military had spies in the White House during the Nixon administration.

Alexander Haig, a general, ran the country for all practical purposes while Nixon melted down.

Other little known facts:

1. Haig controlled the White House safe that held the notorious Watergate tapes which brought Nixon down

2. Bob Woodward, the famous Washington Post journalist who broke the Watergate story, was a Yale grad, a Navy officer, a likely NSA officer, and a briefer to Alexander Haig when he was in the military.

Small world isn’t it.

For more info on this see the book “Silent Coup” by Gerald and Deborah Strober.

It’s a distinct possibility that the US military wanted to get rid of Nixon and went ahead and did it.
