this sounds like colson has gone crazy again. the next morning it doesn't take me very long, it is liddy, it is a disaster. he -- his men, other footprints are around. he says i can't talk to libby, you have to talk to him. -- i can't talk to liddy. you have to talk to him. i learned from liddy, the people who are sitting in the d.c. jail. to this day, i don't think it's the cover-up had gone where it went had it not been liddy's bungling back to the white house. if it had been something they had cooked up over the relation -- reelection committee, they would have cut him off and left mitchell to sink or swim on his own. because ehrlichman is involved in the break-in, he blames mitchell for not keeping liddy under raines. -- under reins. mitchell turns around and blames ehrlichman for sending a guy like liddy over to his operation. i become the middleman between the because i'm the only one that can talk to them. mitchell is denying the fact that -- i shouldn't say denied. when halderman asked him monday morning after the break-i

he said i just came from chuck colson's office. colson wants me to break into the brookings institute and firebomb the brookings institute. he said the president is convinced there is a copy of the pentagon papers in the brookings institute and what we should do is send a team in there and explode the place and when the fire company comes, we can send someone into crack the safe and get these papers out. i said this is insane. he said i am troubled by it, too. i said don't do anything. the president, john ehrlichman bob haldeman are all in san clemente. i called john and i said i have something we should talk about eye to eye, person to person. i jumped on the next courier flight and flew to california. i met with him the next morning and he said, what's troubling you? i told him what caulfield had done in by then i had pulled dc code and learned it's a capital offense the district of columbia anybody dies as a result of arson. i said i cannot believe the white house would risk having involved in a capital offense or would get invo

>> tracy colson is an environmentalist who leads kayak tours in the bay. she is one of the plaintiffs in the peer lawsuit. for years she has filmed what she calls manatee harassment. >> what was it like out there this morning? >> crazy, too many people, too many boats, not many manatees they know where to go when things get crowded. i see people stand on them climb on their backs to ride grab and lolled their anybodiers, try hug them from behind and catch a ride. blocking them from surfacing to breathe. just about everything you can think of. >> fueled by the manatee swimming experience provides at least a thousand jobs and tens of millions of dollars of revenue for gift shops and hotels. it really is the only game in town. >> reporter: so where do you draw the line? >> i think people should not touch the animals or attempt to. i think that's where a lot of the harassment and the disturbance of the animals occurs. >> but it's not at all clear that tourism is harming the manatees. in fact manatees seem to be making a come back. researchers found they were a

as mcgruder put it to his aide when colson says that, sometimes he is telling the truth. it really is from nixon. they carried it out. i think it was from nixon, in fact. these were orders to assault me at least if not to kill me on the steps of the capital on may 3, 1972. they did not do it for reasons we could go into. they thought there were getting set up to be caught. instead, they blew the attempt. they did not assault me. they got into the crowd and were led away by police giving them an excuse for not attacking. they spent that night, several of them, reconnoitering their next objective which was the watergate. they went into the watergate three weeks later. on a second attempt, for reasons we still don't know -- anyone who feels confident that they know exactly what the raid into the watergate offices were or the second raid was for, does not have an adequate basis as far as i know. as far as any documents we know, that remains something of a mystery with various hypotheses. how much nixon knew and so forth remains unclear. how much people knew of the physical at

nixon said you know it was just a few bad apples halderman and ehrlichman and colson the guys closest to him. how close do you have to be to the governor for people to say he's connected. >> keep in mind we've heard christie on this. he's had his press conferences, he had his report that he put out. christie has called bridget kelly every name in the book he's called david wildstein ever name in the book. we've not heard from kelly or wildstein. if these indictments come out, you know how they're usually written by federal prosecutors, we'll presumably hear from them through this indictment and there's the possibility that we'll hear from them publicly. if you have others like them who are out there saying you have christie up there saying this was all me there's more to this story than that. that's a whole new layer we haven't dealt with yet. >> what are you able to report on this tonight? >> we're learning more about david wildstein. he's the guy at the port authority who got the famous e-mail, time for traffic problems in ft. lee, and he responded, got it. he's widely believed to b
