It was a big piece in The Daily Beast last year, which Ben Affleck and Matt Damon bought the film rights to in a huge deal. This looks to be the documentary version, and I can't wait...

No one was familiar with this story. It broke right around 9/11.

I think most people read this story when it burned up the internet for a week in the last year or two, but yeah 9/11 completely buried it from view when it actually happened. Should be a pretty fun documentary though.

Not to go all redstone but I remember this story when the trial started back in 2001.

Don't worry. I'm sure Redstone heard about it before it happened.

The show will be a failure for those who value historical accuracy.

This is the reality of the break-in:

Break-in planned from White House by Jeb Magruder and John Dean. Never at a higher level than them - this "plan" was a reaction to a bi-partisan call-girl ring about to be exposed.

CIA discovers and co-opts. Nixon was guilty of other things, including dirty Fla. mob money, but innocent here.

Silent Coup book vindicated by history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Coup
Main historical archives for this is A&M System: https://www.watergate.com/

Bob Woodward was a top aide to Gen. Haig (Naval Intelligence). Placed by CIA Mockingbird into the Post....so a former top intelligence aide to Haig became a "reporter" with no reporting experience. He must have been hired due to his amazing writing ability. Archives housed by .......Texas A&M University System
[url=https://www.watergate.com/bob-woodward/woodward-haig-connection][/url]https://www.watergate.com/bob-woodward/woodward-haig-connection

Dean lost badly in court cases to Alice Mayhew and Taylor Branch, his ghost writer ... why? Consistent dishonesty. Let's briefly review some details -
- proven lies to Nixon for 10 months, until March 73.
- who destroyed the notebook found in Hunt's White House safe? Dean.
- smears of Jack Caufield and Anthony Ulascewicz...not a good idea.
- work of investigative journalist Clark Mollenhoff.... pretty clear Dean had prior knowledge of operation
- Magruder testified under oath.... not only about their prior knowledge of a break-in, but Dean was the instigator of Gemstone.
- Dean had access to FBI investigation of the break-in....including the fact the FBI found no working bug.
- His relationship to investigator John Caufiled ...another bad idea that came back to bite him.
- Paying Lou Russell to hide in Silver Spring
- All the denials re Heidi Rikan and the DNC "relationships"....bad for him historically
- look into Eugenio Martinez and the key in this context, makes a lot more sense than "official" story

This show will be a total fail.

Also - look into Woody's father. Who was he friends with? What did he do for a living? How about right round Nov. 1963?

That's just for starters. This was a CIA co-opt of an amateur operation to get call girl records

- Either way, with January now chock-full, we unfortunately won't be seeing Westworld season 3 until March. Looking at the calendar, considering The Outsider's 10-episode run starting January 12, with two episodes airing back-to-back that night, my guess is that that Westworld season 3 debuts Sunday, March 15.

Boom.

March 15th it is...

Man, the tone of New Pope Ep 2 seemed so heavy compared to the rest of this series. But it may have been my favorite one.

Just FYI, Super Bowl weekend, HBO usually puts its Sunday episodes up on streaming/on-demand the Friday prior. I haven't seen any such announcement this year, but will be on the lookout tomorrow...
