Look, McGovern's dropped to nothing, Nixon's guaranteed the renomination, the Post is stuck with a story no one else wants, it'll sink the goddamn paper.

John Mitchell resigns
as the head of CREEP...
00:00:05.276 --> 00:00:08.111
and says that he wants to spend
more time with his family.
00:00:08.196 --> 00:00:11.001
Sounds like bullshit.
We don't exactly believe that.
00:00:11.157 --> 00:00:13.001
No, but it's touching.
00:00:16.204 --> 00:00:19.952
Forget the myths the media's created
about the White House.
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.787
The truth is,
these are not very bright guys...
00:00:23.878 --> 00:00:25.954
and things got out of hand.
00:00:27.034 --> 00:00:29.546
Hunt's come in from the cold.
00:00:30.134 --> 00:00:34.677
Supposedly, he's got a lawyer

00:00:34.764 --> 00:00:36.388
Follow the money.
00:00:38.685 --> 00:00:42.001
What do you mean? Where?
00:00:42.105 --> 00:00:43.931
I can't tell you that.
00:00:44.357 --> 00:00:46.048
But you could tell me that.
00:00:47.003 --> 00:00:49.268
No, I have to do this my way.
00:00:49.057 --> 00:00:52.069
You tell me what you know
and I'll confirm.
00:00:53.283 --> 00:00:57.114
I'll keep you in the right direction if I can,
but that's all.
