this focusing on how the nixon white house responded purely with john dean, former white house counselsident nixon. >> i think there's probably some good justification for the strong feelings nixon had. he would make the decision in the next day read it on the front page of "the new york times" or some other newspaper. this makes it virtually impossible to govern. clubs just because some guys going to be a martyr, we cannot be in a position of allowing a fella to get away with this kind of wholesale thievery or it will happen all over the government. we've got to keep our eye on the main ball. the main ball is ellsberg. we have to get this son of a bitch. >> the nixon white house. what some of us called the beginning of a rough period. it was rough-and-tumble before, but he got down and dirty. it is really a defining event for the nixon president. in this is one -- the so plumbers union. >> i was summoned the oval office by the president. john ehrlichman and i met with him. there was some suspicion that dr. ellsberg had access to the more recent war plans that have been developed by th

russia. >> thank you so much. >>> with me now, cnn contributor john dean, he was president nixon's white house. >> thank you. >> so you were at the white house, the counsel for nixon when he was obsessed with leaks which led to watergate, his resignation, et cetera. so how is this different from nixon's enemy list? >> it's very different. first of all, nixon's list was just a list. it really never got beyond collecting names and assembling them and tossing them into a file drawer. i can't think of any instance where maybe with the exception of larry o'brien the chairman of the democratic national committee, he ever did anything. so that's one distinction. the other is, i can't recall nixon ever going after a member of congress, particularly using the tactic of a grand jury subpoena to fish around and see if you could find a leak. the problem is with leaks is we don't have an official secret's act in this country. leaks are used -- are prosecuted under a really kind of tortured interpretation of an old 1917 statute. that's the only thing that's on the books. congress has tried. bill clinton rej
