In 1971 Daniel Ellsberg released the pentagon papers documents that showed how the people had been deceived about Vietnam how Richard Nixon created an extralegal clandestine force to retaliate. the plumbers break-in into Daniels Ellsberg office searching for information with which contributed to Nixon's downfall. The presidents henchmen tried more then burglary against Daniel Ellsberg. G. Gordon Liddy a plumber proposed to put an LSD on Daniel Ellsberg soup at a reception at which he was speaking. He thought the reception was i his honor by the federal employees for peace but Liddy said that the okay came from on high, which could only be the special council to the president , Charles Colson, or the President himself. Daniel Ellsberg never thought that the government did that to Americans but he was wrong. there was a discussion among the plumbers of killing him.
