...though this is considered extremely unlikely. More conceivably, citizens resentful about what they regard as illegal expenditures on the President's homes in California and Florida could bring civil suits. Further, action in the federal courts could be initiated by someone like former National Security Council Staffer Morton Halperin, whose telephone was bugged on Nixon's orders. Another potential danger to the former President is that he will be disbarred. Still, these problems are less pressing than the one President Ford disposed of with his order of Executive clemency.

In the corridors, an ugly suspicion was voiced by defense counsel: perhaps the Administration had deliberately flunked its last assignment from Byrne, about the Halperin wiretap, because it was being increasingly embarrassed by the disclosures that Byrne was forcing. By failing to meet Byrne's demands, the Administration had given him good reason for dismissing the case and had thus forestalled any further investigation that he might order. It had thereby plugged the leaks...
