Confidential Informant Claims Watergate Burglars Were Set Up

The offices of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) were burglarized on June 17, 1972, setting in motion events that led to the Watergate scandal and the resignation of President Nixon. The burglars were famously arrested inside the DNC offices by Metropolitan Police Officer (and covert Military Intelligence Agent) Carl Shoffler. In a shocking new book, the authors insist the entire operation was a set-up from the start.

Watergate Exposed: A Confidential Informant Reveals How The President of the United States and the Watergate Burglars Were Set-Up explains how Robert Merritt, the nation’s #1 Confidential Informant (CI) for the government was made aware of plans for the burglary two weeks in advance and mentioned the fact to his handler Shoffler on June 1st. Merritt was asked to assassinate Douglas Caddy, the original attorney for the Watergate Seven. He refused, and the two became the authors of this book.

This is the inside story of how the Watergate fiasco was managed by covert intelligence groups for the express purpose of bringing down the Nixon administration. Undercover operations, double crosses, secret infiltrations and a number of casual murders come into play in this no-holds-barred account that features such well-known personalities as Judge John Sirica, Mark Felt (Deep Throat) and Woodward and Bernstein.

Caddy includes many affidavits and interviews conducted by the Watergate Special Prosecution Force. He recalls his efforts on behalf of E. Howard Hunt, Gordon Liddy and James McCord, along with the four Cuban-Americans accused of the break-in, and how, due to legal wrangling, the members of the defense were unable to get a fair trial.

As well as a re-examination of the Watergate affair, the book also uncovers the type of life Merritt lived, including drug addiction, unsavory associates, constant threats and long prison terms.

Having read thousands of manuscripts, I rank Watergate Exposed among the few that are assured worldwide best-seller status. It not only rewrites the accepted history of Watergate, but also chronicles the mind-boggling secret life of a Confidential Informant who worked for Federal and state law enforcement agencies. Be prepared to enter a world that most of us cannot imagine exists. - Donald O. Graul, Jr., Executive Director of the American Independent Writers Assn.,

Watergate Exposed is published as an e-book and is available for a variety of readers: from Amazon on Kindle, from Apple on I-Pad and from Barnes and Noble on Nook.
