MARTHA MITCHELL

[Richard Nixon] bleeds people. He draws every drop of blood and then drops them from a cliff. He'll blame any person he can put his foot on.

I don't believe in that "no comment" business. I always have a comment.

I think this administration has turned completely against my husband. In other words, they're desperate, and I will not under any circumstances let them pin it [Watergate] on my husband. I think my husband has become the whipping boy for the whole administration, and they want to hide who is really involved.

I fear for my husband. I'm really scared. I have a definite reason. I can't tell you why. But they're not going to pin anything on him. I won't let them, and I don't give a damn who gets hurt. I can name names.... If you hear that I'm sick or can't talk, please, please, get your reporters out to find me. Somebody might try to shut me up.
