this is true.  What was the date of GR publication--important to know  
how much P knew and when did he know it (as the saying went).

Although the burglary occurred in '72 the full significance wasn't  
seen until after Nixon's reelection and inauguration--early '73.

Haldeman and Erlichman weren't fired until the end of April.

So would this rule out Steve EdelMAN and his legal problem as being a  
stand in for Nixon's most notorious henchmen?
