Maurice Stans
1. Dahlberg told Woodward that he had given the 25,000 dollar check to Maurice Stans, who was at the time Nixon's chief money raiser. They established the money intended for the reelection campaign. Instead the money ended up in a bank account for the Watergate burglar. Stans was confonted about the issue and he siad that he had no comment. Stans and others for Nixon secretely collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from people- who were mostly Democrats who disliked George McGoven- who didn't want it publicly known that they had given money to the Nixon campaign fund. The Reelection Commitee sent the money to Mexico and then back to Washington to keep the secret safe.
2. Maurice Stans excelled at the art of collecting money. He was Nixon's chief money raiser for his campaign. Stans was given a check for 25,000 dollars for Nixon's reelection campaign, which ended up in the bank account of the Watergate buglar. He had no comment. Stans and other people that worked for Nixon had collected large amounts of money from Democratic people that had opposed George McGoven. Stans was Nixon's man when it came down to his reelection campaign because Stans was one of the best at making money.
3. John Sirica and petit jurors persuaded the Department of Justice and the prosecutors " to take out-of-court statements from Maurice Stans. Instead of requiring them to testify before the jury investigating the " bugs " and the burglary in conformity with the established procedures governing such matters. This then denied the jurors the opportunity to question them.
