Duly informed, Nixon would have “lowered the boom” on the guilty, a move Mitchell argued would have cost the ’72 election. “I still believe that the most important thing to this country was the reelection of Richard Nixon,” Mitchell testified, “and I was not about to countenance anything that would stand in the way of that reelection.”26

Nixon, of course, knew far more about the Plumbers than Mitchell did. Nixon was also privately willing, as his tapes later made painfully clear, to entertain dark thoughts about his dear friend, Mitchell, and his role in Watergate. As his White House burned, Nixon returned frequently, both in his mind and aloud, to The Question—Did Mitchell do it?—and came, over time, to believe the worst. Nixon’s first known recorded conversation about Watergate was a late afternoon talk with Haldeman on June 20, 1972.
