was ida maxi wells really the target of the break-in liddy would later recall a small detail about their lookout spot on the night of the arrest a detail that proved her office was in fact the actual target
G. Gordon LiddySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
if you go upstairs to the lookout room look out on the balcony and see what you can see you cannot see larry o'brien's office the dnc chairman now that is significant because these wiretaps have tiny little FM transmitters in them.
G. Gordon LiddySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And FM, RF energy, is transmitted line of sight.
Adryana CortezHOST
Meaning that the DNC chairman's office could not have been the target of the wiretap because in order to hear the signal from the device they were planting, Liddy's team needed a line of sight to the office outfitted with the device.
Dan KatzHOST
Yeah.

But within just a few days, Liddy got a strange request from his boss, Magruder.
G. Gordon LiddySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And Mr. Magruder then called me in, and it was toward the end of April, and he said, can you get into the Watergate? And I said, well, yeah, you know, we could probably get into the Watergate, but why? And he said, well, he wanted us to go in and to wiretap Larry O'Brien's office.
Patrick CourrielcheHOST
Larry O'Brien was the chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Patrick CourrielcheHOST
Liddy turned to his partner in crime, Howard Hunt.
Patrick CourrielcheHOST
And I said, well, we're instructed to go in and wiretap Larry O'Brien's office, and we decided, well, we could do it.
Patrick CourrielcheHOST
In late May 1972, they executed a break-in at the DNC headquarters at the Watergate complex.
G. Gordon LiddySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Damon BruceHOST
So all of you fans...
Damon BruceHOST
It said that the Golden State Valkyries might have to be presented the WNBA's equivalent of the Larry O'Brien trophy on a practice court.
Damon BruceHOST
Like, you don't need me to tell you your league's a joke.
Damon BruceHOST
Your league is telling me your league is a joke.

Daniel SheehanGUEST
And so Lee called me and asked me to come join his firm to work on the Watergate burglary case.
Daniel SheehanGUEST
And so I did and learned all about why they were in the Watergate Hotel, why they were burglarizing the office of Lawrence O'Brien.
Daniel SheehanGUEST
And after I'd learned all of this stuff, I realized, Gee, our government isn't just a little bit out of tune.
Daniel SheehanGUEST
It turns out that our government is playing an entirely different song than we've been taught in high school and even college and law school, that there was some huge kind of corruption going on behind the scenes here.
