Investigation
July 5, 2007

system. But according to Thompson’s own book about
the investigation, he gave the Nixon White House a
“heads-up,” warning them that the Watergate committee
already knew about the recording system. "Thompson was
a mole for the White House," according to one of the
Watergate investigators. "Fred was working hammer and
tong to defeat the investigation of finding out what
happened to authorize Watergate and find out what the
role of the president was."
