...campaigns of Democrats running for President. In its draft report, written by the Republican counsel, the staff said the investigation of Democrats was made to "rectify any misapprehensions that the work of the staff was myopic or that miscreants were found only among those endeavoring to re-elect President Nixon." But far more examples of Republican skulduggery were uncovered.

...antitrust violations in a 14-state area, a blow that brought Connally back into the picture. According to participants in a meeting at Connally's office on March 16, 1972, the Treasury Secretary telephoned Mitchell (who by then had left the Justice Department to run the Committee to Re-Elect the President) to warn that the antitrust suit might jeopardize further milk campaign contributions. Connally admitted talking to Mitchell about the suit but not in the presence of the milkmen, and he denied mentioning the campaign money. Nevertheless, according to some of the milk executives, Connally asked...
