Here’s a creepy conversation about W. Mark Felt between Haldeman and Nixon from October ‘72. The scariest thing is that Nixon’s about to win the election in a landslide. No wonder my Jewish mother was freaking out and forcing me to leaflet the neighborhood for McGovern.
Haldeman: We know what’s left, and we know who leaked it.Nixon: Somebody in the FBI?
Haldeman: Yes, sir. Mark Felt. You can’t say anything about this because it will screw up our source and there’s a real concern. Mitchell is the only one who knows about this and he feels strongly that we better not do anything because—
Nixon: Do anything? Never.
Haldeman: If we move on him, he’ll go out and unload everything. He knows everything that’s to be known in the FBI. He has access to absolutely everything …
Nixon: What would you do with Felt?Haldeman: Well, I asked Dean ...
Nixon: You know what I'd do with him, the bastard? Well that's all I want to hear about it.
Haldeman: I think he wants to be in the top spot.
Nixon: That's a hell of a way for him to get to the top.
Haldeman: You can figure a lot of--maybe he thought--first of all, he has to figure that if you stay in as president there's a possibility or probability Gray will stay on. If McGovern comes in, then you know Gray's going to be out ...
Nixon: Is he Catholic?
Haldeman: (unintelligible) Jewish.
President Nixon: Christ, put a Jew in there?
Haldeman: Well, that could explain it too.
