Also last week, Egil Krogh Jr., the head of Nixon's White House plumbers unit who pleaded guilty in the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist, appeared on CBS-TV'S 60 Minutes news program. He claimed that a conversation of his own with Dean on March 20, 1973, casts a shadow on Dean's public testimony. CBS's Mike Wallace interpreted this to mean that Dean had committed perjury, but Krogh would not agree to that term...
...doubts about Dean's credibility seem at least partially based on a misunderstanding of his Senate testimony Krogh, Scott and Anderson all implied that Dean had claimed that Nixon was fully aware of all aspects of the cover-up before March 21, 1973. On that date, both the President and Dean agree, Dean outlined the conspiracy in detail. By this reasoning, also advanced by the White House, if Nixon expressed great surprise about Dean's revelations on March 21, Dean must be in error about any previous knowledge by Nixon...
...Thus Krogh told Wallace that Dean had confided to him on March 20 that "the President is being badly served. He just doesn't know what's been going on."

This knowledge did not necessarily include the precise involvement of his various political and White House aides, nor the legal ramifications...
...that pugnacious vow made last week at a private White House meeting with a group of Republican Congressmen. The themes were clear: he was innocent; he would never resign; he would resist impeachment as a narrow partisan political attack on him. And he got some help when Egil Krogh Jr. contended that the President was not responsible for one burglary carried out by the White House plumbers team that Krogh headed...
...January, three grand juries, which are considering evidence presented by Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski, are expected to issue indictments in the scandals of the milk producers' contributions to the Nixon campaign, the handling of the ITT antitrust case and the work of the White House plumbers. Egil Krogh, boss of the plumbers, has promised to tell all that he knows after he is sentenced in January-and he knows plenty. Former Cabinet Members John Mitchell and Maurice Stans are scheduled to go on trial Jan. 9 on charges stemming from $200,000 in illegal campaign contributions by Robert Vesco...
