with his first question do you feel that you Ever obstructed jus or were part of a conspiracy to obstruct Justice Nixon role in the coverup took up the first third of the and Nixon gave this explanation my motive was not to try to cover up a criminal to be sure that As far As any or should i say slip Over i think would be a better any Stopover in a Way that damage inno cent people or blow it into political proper it was that that i certainly wanted to if a coverup is for the purpose of Cov ering up criminal it is a coverup is for a motive that is not that is something else my motive was not the former president also insisted he committed no obstruction of Justice a charge on which the House judiciary com Mittee voted to impeach him because he said such an action must be corrupt and that gets to the Point of one must have corrupt now i did not have a corrupt my motive was pure political but Frost bore saying that Nixon was covering up criminal activity when he or dered the Fri not to carry out a full invest on the false pretence that the Cia and National Security matters were in that is an obstruction of Frost now just a Nixon Frost that your Nixon Frost opened the second half hour of the show saying that while they cant agree on his role in the surely the White House tapes show that Nixon or at least endorsed or ratified hush Money payments to the watergate the record Doest show that at the record actually is ambiguous until you get to the Nixon when the total record is you will find my the White House cant do then Frost read him 16 specifics quotes taken from the March hush Money meeting with John you could get a million dollars and you could get it in Cash i know where it could be Frost quoted Nixon from the get the million it would seem to me that would be we have no Nixon obviously and complained that he is speaking without any while Frost has papers in front of then he added i May have made some but not Nixon final conclusion on the subject question we have is whether or n the payment was made As a result of a of recon Given by the president for that put hush he thai Point it was since Dean had told Nixon the Money was being Why didst the Stop Frost a its possible its a mistake that i didst Stop Nixon Frost went Back to his original and asked Why Nixon told his special coun Charles in a separate meeting on hush Money that it had to be this transcript had not been before and Nixon seemed i cant recall that i cant recall tint and i cant vouch for the accuracy of the transcription on he the third half hour of the show was taped several Days after the segments seen in the first Nixon mood had he was More less com and the session was More Philo Frost began this session with a hard question after John Dean had told him the full Story of All the watergate crimes on March Why didst you pick up the phone and Tell the cops there is no Evi Dence anywhere of a nowhere do you say this is disgraceful Nixon said he wanted to Lake his
