Nixon's suspicions
June 1, 2005 DEEP0601.NIXON

After the Watergate break-in, President Richard Nixon hoped that Mark Felt would cooperate in shutting down the probe, but four months later he became Nixon's chief suspect as the president tried to figure out who was leaking information to the Washington Post.

Felt ran the bureau on a day-to-day basis. Nixon chief of staff H.R. Haldeman worried that any effort to remove Felt would backfire.

"If we move on him, he'll go out and unload everything. He knows everything that's to be known in the FBI," Haldeman warned.

Nixon wondered why "the bastard" was leaking information.

"I think he wants the top spot," Haldeman said.

"That's a hell of a way for him to get to the top," Nixon replied.
