Everyone seemed to be hiding something in the scandal, and I can see why the newer guys in office were. They were doing what they were told because they didn't know any better. They thought they were doing the right thing by protecting the president. But why did Haldeman testify and say he had one of the tapes in his possession over the weekend? I don't understand if he said this to protect the president by saying that the tapes could have been messed with or to say that they should be released. He was supposed to be close to the president but when he testified it seemed that he was lying becuase he couldn't remember any specific details. Do you think there was a possibility he was trying to reveal the truth without actually saying it, because he kept saying things that made Nixon look guilty?
