G. Gordon Liddy, convicted Watergate conspirator, dies at 90
“ G. Gordon Liddy -- a former FBI agent, organizer of the Watergate break-in and radio show host -- has died at age 90, his son confirmed to CNN.

Liddy died Tuesday morning in Mt. Vernon, Virginia, and though he suffered from a "variety of ailments," his death was not Covid-19 related, his son, Thomas Liddy, told CNN in a phone call. He had received the coronavirus vaccine three weeks ago.
Liddy, who worked for the reelection committee for President Richard Nixon, is infamously known for having overseen the break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate office complex on the night of June 17, 1972, saying later that "I certainly regret that the mission failed." He was convicted for his part in organizing the break-in on charges of burglary, conspiracy and wiretapping and served four-and-a-half years after President Jimmy Carter commuted his original 20-year sentence to eight.
Liddy later went on to host a radio show and hold an acting career”

I was a bit surprised by Liddy's death. But he did live to th age of 90, hardly a sudden death long before his time.

I first heard of it on OAN. Even on a conservative news channel, the first thing they cited (as if it was his greatest and most prominent life achievement) is that he was the one who planned and orchestrated the 1972 break-in of the Democrat National Headquarters, at that time set up in rooms within the Watergate Hotel, spearheaded by CIA operative E.Howard Hunt and five anti-Castro Cuban nationals. They were there to photograph documents, so that the Nixon campaign would know in advance the Democrat strategy and out-maneuver them in the election. Which was hardly necessary, because even without their theft of those documents, Nixon won a 49-state sweep in the Nov 1972 election, the largest of any presidential win in a century, except for Reagan's 49-state similar win against Mondale in 1984.

The report I saw said Liddy only served 4 and 1/2 years of a much longer sentence, a lengthy sentence only given because he refused to accept a plea bargain deal. But what that fails to make clear is that Liddy served a longer sentence, by far, than any other Watergate conspirator. Many only served a few weeks or 6 months. The average sentence for the central men convicted was about 18 months. And it was actually Jimmy Carter after his inauguration who saw that Liddy had served a very disproportionate sentence relative to any others involved, and commuted Liddy for time served, to "put the Watergate scandal behind us" as a nation. Which I think was quite generous of Carter as president.
I couldn't imagine the Bolsheviks who currently run the Democrat party doing so now in a similar situation. Quite the opposite, the DOJ/FBI Democrat machine has attempted, with Karl Rove and Scooter Libby , and more recently with others close to Trump, to put them in jail for decades for crimes they know these men didn't even commit. Manufactured "process" crimes, just to smear their Republican opposition. Democrats have hijacked the FBI, DOJ, State Department, and other federal law enforcement agencies into their own KGB, and are in the process of doing a similar purge of all Republicans from the Defense Department and military, weaponizing them into a military force willing to fire on citizens who don't comply with their ideological goals, Trump supporters specifically and Republicans in general, and even Libertarians and Democrats who don't fall into ideological line and cooperate with their Bolshevik goals.

Gordon Liddy is a saint compared to the people running our government now, and for most of the last 30 years. Liddy at least had his own set of idiosyncratic principles and didn't throw anyone under the bus to take the fall for him, didn't try to imprison innocent men, or try to evade the consequences of his actions.

Would that the puppet-masters in the Democrat party and Democrat-hijacked federal agencies would suffer even a fraction of the consequences that Liddy did for his actions: Douglas Shulman, John Koskinen, Lois Lerner, Susan Rice, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bill Priestap, Kevin Clinesmith, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Debbie Wasserman Bitch-Cunt Schultz, Donna Brazile, or the many others involved in weaaponizing government against the Trump campaign and incoming administration, and sabotaging the case from within FBI/DOJ against Hillary Clinton.

And likewise in the federal tentacles conspiriong with Dominion Voting Systems who rigged the last election, and the judges and elected officials who abdicated their civic responsibility to prosecute them, or allow the evidence to be legally presented.
Many rewarded with Biden administration appointments, high paying Dominion executive and lobbyist positions, and other rewarding lucrative payoffs and promotions, as I've linked previously. Rewarding corruption, rewarding failure, by the Democrats and their corporate and tech allies.


What is not disclosed in the history surrounding G. Gordon Liddy is that JFK and LBJ, directly preceding Nixon and Liddy, had weaponized federal agencies in the exact same ways, and yet were never exposed or convicted, and never paid the price that Liddy, Nixon and others did. If Gordon Liddy were a Clinton or Obama or Biden official, he would have never been convicted, would have been given a lucrative book deal, and been given a highly paid nightly consultant position for years on CNN or MSNBC, and allowed to use his tarnished credentials to bash and slander the Republican leadership, under a veil of pseudo-credibility. But hey, Gordon Liddy was a Republican serving in the Nixon administration, and therefore is held accountable for his crimes.

I still remember Liddy in the Rosland Capital TV commercials he did for years, and for his radio show. I wasn't aware of his celebrity appearances on things like MacGyver and Fear Factor.

First Rush, now Liddy, another scumbag piece of shit dies.

Liddy was basically everything WB accuses democrats of. There was a time I would have agreed with President Carter pardoning criminals like Liddy. After watching the entitlement of the trumpers on Jan 6 as they beat on police officers and smeared shit on the capitol walls I don’t anymore.

I didn't deny any of what Liddy was prosecuted for.
I only pointed out the double-standard, where Democrats who did the same thing under JFK and LBJ (and Clinton, and Obama) get a free pass and the case evidence against them just disappears down a rabbit-hole, and Republicans accused [or framed] of the same crimes are prosecuted to the hilt.


The way Hillary Clinton, Houma Abedin and Cheryl Mills were given free reign for TWO MONTHS by FBI to bleach-bit away e-mails and documents that would incriminate them, tens of thousands of documents and e-mails. But Trump officials like Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen and Roger Stone were subjected to heavily armed midnight raids of their offices, homes and hotels in simultaneous raids, to prevent even the slightest possibility of destroying evidence.

The friendly deposing of Hillary Clinton where she was allowed to have Cheryl Mills (a co-conspirator!) legally represent her and help her answer questions from a very friendly FBI, who didn't even record the interview, to insure she could never be prosecuted for perjury.
As contrasted with Michael Flynn in Jan 2017, who was ambushed into being deposed without even a lawyer present, who was recorded and tricked into a manufactured perjury trap, a manufactured crime by the FBI, in the absence of an ACTUAL crime. They tried to so the same to his assistant national security advisor K.T. McFarland, but she had better legal counsel, and wasn't tricked into a similar perjury trap.

Evidence consistently disappears that would convict Democrats, deliberately sabotaged by a Democrat-allied FBI.
While evidence is created by that same FBI to entrap and convict Republicans.
"Vive le resistance !", to quote document-forging FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who also wiggled off the hook and did no jail time. But Clinesmith's forged FBI/FISA documents would have sent an innocent Carter Page to jail for a decade or more. An army of James Comey's, Peter Strzok's, Lisa Page's, Kevin Clinesmith's, that donate 97% to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and other Democrats. Making the FBI a completely compromised enforcer-arm KGB-equivalent for the Democrat party.

The way FBI hid Hunter Biden's laptop, even during Trump's Jan-Feb 2020 impeachment, despite that it held exculpatory evidence that exonerated Trump, and proved the basis for his communication with the Ukrainian president, that showed Joe and Hunter Biden were guilty of EXACTLY what Trump was accused of, but the Bidens, being on Team Democrat, were never prosecuted for. The FBI hid that key evidence. And then when the computer-shop owner revealed he had a duplicate of Hunter Biden's hard drive with all the e-mails, revealing the truth, the FBI and the Democrats made his life a living hell. Just for having the integrity to tell the truth. More integrity than anyone in the FBI.


And fuck your wildly exaggerated hysteric false narrative about Jan 6th.
Any one of the 275 cities burned last summer by Black Lives Matter exceeded the worst acts on Jan 6th, by a handful of rioters.

Any one of the nightly attacks on federal buildings in Seattle and Portland, EVERY NIGHT for about 5 months now by BLM and Antifa , **FAR** exceeds anything that happened on Jan 6th in the Capitol.

The May 2020 seige on the White House where 50 Secret Service agents were injured also was far more serious. So serious that Secret Service instructed President Trump to leave the White House to wait out the seige in a more secure bunker, the militant-trained BLM rioters were so close to over-running the White House. When Trump visited the church across the street the next day, the full extent of the damage was clear in the video as Trump walked. A war zone. I think the press was angry that Trump visited the church, because it forced the media to capture on video just how extensive the damage was. That interfered with their false narrative, that mocked the president as a scaredy-cat coward for leaving the White House. But it was secret service under a very real threat that insisted the president leave to a more secure site.

And you again try to smear 74.3 million Trump supporters to allege that those who rioted in the Capitol on Jan 6th were representative of Trump supporters as a whole. As I've repeatedly deconstructed your lies, these were fringe groups, NOT Trump supporters, groups who used the Trump protesters as cover in pusuit of their own agenda. They were not incited by Trump, evidence everywhere by FBI, DHS and Capitol police shows they planned their violence well in advance of the Jan 6th rally and speech by Trump.

Put the blame where it really belongs: on BLM/Antifa as evidenced by the self-incriminating videos of John Earl Sullivan. On the Boogaloo movement (that also have ties to BLM). And on Oath Keepers. All groups with violent histories that go back many years, with no relation to Trump.

And despite your lying narrative, the assistant FBI director of counter terrorism Jill Sanborn testified before the Senate a month ago, saying there was not one gun found or confiscated by Police or FBI on Jan 6th in or around the Capitol.
Despite your piece-of-shit lying narrative, it was NOT an "armed rebellion".
And Sanborn herself was forced to admit [pressed by Sen. Ron Johnson) the only shot fired and the only death was by a Capitol police officer, that killed Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran. Sullivan's own video shows from two different angles she was at least 25 feet away and no threat to the officer. And yet for reasons unknown, despite clear excessive force in the shooting, no officer was prosecuted for that excess, OR EVEN PUBLICLY NAMED !

Your brethren in Black Lives Matter and Antifa do far worse violence, EVERY SINGLE DAY ! Not to mention doxing their conservative political opponents, getting conservatives or dissenting Democrats fired from their jobs, and terrorizing anyone who dares to tell the truth about what actually happened. Anything that gets in the way of your piece-of-shit lying narrative.
Par for the course for the Democrat-Bolshevik way.

Your post demonstrates your double standard. And your hate. Nothing surprising these days. I now know how much you hate democracy along with a lot of other trumpers after the last election. You people really are the threat. Liddy would have hailed as a hero by you today.

You're such a piece-of-shit liar.

What I posted clearly says Liddy committed crimes, and was held accountable for his crimes. That because he wouldn't take a plea bargain, he was given a longer sentence and spent more time in prison, by far, than any other Watergate conspirator.

I only said that we have a Democrat -controlled justice system, where all the Democrat criminals I mentioned should be held EQUALLY accountable, and that the same justice system should apply equally for all, for similar crimes.
But in the cases of the Democrat criminals who run DOJ and FBI and State Dept, of Hillary and Bill Clinton, of John Koskinen, of Lois Lerner, and of all 7 conspirators in the Oval Office on Jan 5 2017 who planned the framing of Michael Flynn, should ***ALL*** be held to the same standard of justice as Michael Flynn or Gordon Liddy were held to.

And I don't "hate democracy", you Bolshevik zealot piece of shit, I believe in equal justice under the law. Not a Democrat-partisan FBI and DOJ who sabotage or ignore evidence to give Democrat leaders a free pass, while maliciously prosecuting Republicans. If you were not a fully indoctrinated Bolshevik, you would see that the Democrat party is even as we speak trying (H.R. 1, S.R. 1) to set up a one-party authoritarian system, stripped of all Constitutional checks and balances.
And that the Democrat party you cheer on is indistinguishable from the corrupt authoritarian police state in the Peoples' Republic of China. A year ago I would have said "approaching indistinguishable", but that line has been crossed at this point. The Democrats, aligned with a like-minded mainstream media, and with possibly even more radical Orwellian social media giants, are clearly one in spirit with the Chinese Communist Party's way of doing things.


And if you weren't such a fucking leftist-indoctrinated zombie, you'd see that from the Clintons and the Obamas on down, the people who run the Democrat party openly worship Lenin and Stalin and Mao and Che Gueverra (I've quoted them many times, even posted video of them saying it). And these Democrats are eager to implement that kind of murderously authoritarian communism/ socialism on the United States.
"Hate"?
You clearly haven't listened to or read the rhetoric coming from your own party.

It is YOUR party that "hates America" and is trying to destroy it, they couldn't be more plain in their intent at this point. Democrats, the party of Marxism, Socialism, Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project , globalism (to the destruction of U.S. sovereignty) and the Bolshevik Left. Your party talks (and is repeatedly caught in print or on video) about putting Trump supporters in Gulags or outright killing them, they want to force televised confessions from Trump supporters as is done in China. I've posted the video of them saying it repeatedly, and their social media posts doing the same.
These Democrat leaders for decades have heaped praise on the Soviet Union, China, Castro's Cuba, Hugo Chaves' Venezuela, the Santinistas' Nicaragua, but can only describe the U.S. as a racist and evil place. From Hillary Clinton to Barack and Michelle Obama, to Bernie Sanders, on down to their appointed subordinate officials, also quoted by me. I've linked them repeatedly.

The Clintons, the Obamas, Valerie Jarrett, Bernie Sanders, any other Democrat you could look up on https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/ they are all fully committed Marxists, whose standard method is lying about their intentions to get elected, and then implementing their true Marxist anti-American agenda once in office. And we have watched them implement EXACTLY that kind of destruction over the last 70 days or so.
If you can't see the chaos and endangerment of the nation being done, so obviously, you are completely beyond reason.

But that's just re-stating the obvious at this point.

A few more examples of Democrat crimes that go unpunished or even investigated:

1) Hunter Biden's laptop, that a computer shop owner turned over to the FBI in late 2019, and buried, despite that it was loaded with e-mails that exposed the pay-to-play arrangement of Hunter Biden and his Burisma partners, and how they were selling father Joe Biden's political power to the highest bidder, and how Joe Biden (in e-mail chains and in e-mails) reveals he is not insulated from this corruption, but a very direct partner in it, who is sharing the profits. Hunter Biden has made tens of millions of dollars selling access to Joe Biden, and still has a pending windfall from his $1.5 BILLION in investments for the Peoples' Bank of China that is estimated to be worth another $200 million. Sharing a large chunk of the proceeds with "the big guy" Joe Biden, no doubt.

That laptop's e-mail also (buried by the FBI) would also have vindicated President Donald Trump for his communications with the Ukranian president, and presented (if not buried by the FBI) exculpatory evidence that would have prevented his Jan-Feb 2020 impeachment. And so you don't say "it's all Russian manufactured fake e-mails", at least three people involved in those e-mail chains have verified they ARE Hunter Biden's e-mails as they were the ones communicating with Hunter Biden.

and

2) Hunter Biden in 2018 lied on an application to purchase a handgun, saying he has not had alcohol or drug problems, lying so he could get a firearm he knew he should not. Both the FBI and the Secret Service tried to intimidate the gunshop owner to give up the paperwork, so as to hide Hunter Biden's criminal behavior from being revealed publicly, and to protect him from prosecution by destroying the evidence. Yet another example of the FBI being a subordinate enforcement-arm of the Democrat party, protecting Democrat criminals, while maliciously prosecuting Republicans.

and

3) A leak from DOJ about Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) alleging he travelled with and had sex with a 17 year old, and possibly in a prostitution relationship. And yet there is nothing to leak at this point, no revealed evidence, no indictment, just a slanderous allegation that should never have been revealed by the (97% Democrat donating) DOJ/FBI.
It was highly irregular for DOJ to leak this evidence of an investigation, particularly before any evidence was found or an indictment made.
But it again reveals the Democrat subservience and one-sided justice of the DOJ/FBI, even as it benefits the Democrat party politically.
