Dan, do you know why Reagan pardoned Martinez, one of two of the Cuban plumbers…even tho he had served his sentence? Only two people were pardoned for Watergate: Nixon and Martinez. Why Martinez?
Interesting question but I don't know the answer. . . . My late, great friend, Carl Shoffler, one of the three arresting officers of the Watergate burglars, told me that Martinez kept reaching into his pocket, placing him at risk while the detectives had their guns drawn. After slapping Martinez in his shoulder, Shoffler went into Martinez's pocket and pulled out a notepad with a key attached. From what Carl told me, the key opened a desk drawer there at DNC headquarters. . . . There is considerable speculation as to what the drawer contained.
Thanks!
