Douglas Caddy, the original attorney for the Watergate burglars, and Earl Robert Merritt Jr. aka Butch Merritt, a confidential informant for the Washington Metropolitan Police Department Intelligence Division, came together to expose the hard realities of corruption beyond comprehension in a manuscript called, Watergate Exposed: How the President of the United States and the Watergate Burglars were Set up As Told to Douglas Caddy, original Attorney for the Watergate Seven, appeared as guests on The Power Hour with Joyce Riley on the GCN Network in an attempt to disclose new factual material about the Watergate scandal and how historical consciousness have been altered to obscure the truth about a set-up so organized and manipulated uncovering new players and puppet masters behind the event that led to President Richard Nixon’s resignation. As new details exposed by Caddy and Merritt emerge, America wakes up to more governmental agency corruption, agency set-ups, lies, cover ups, and assassinations.
Douglas Caddy, LLD, is an attorney, the cofounder of Young Americans for Freedom, and served as the criminal lawyer for the burglars in the Watergate break-in. He is also admittedly homosexual and was targeted to be assassinated by the CIA using recruited confidential informant Robert Merritt (Butch Merritt) because of the CIA believed he knew too much about the agency. He claims we need to revisit Watergate because the outcome of the Vietnam War, all the people killed, and the (CIA) Central Intelligence Agency’s involvement and role setting up President Nixon and the burglars resulting in Nixon’s resignation in 1974.
Robert Merritt (Butch Merritt), was a man who became a confidential informant or tool for the CIA, was an admitted assassin and had association with Cointelpro. He came from an alcoholic family with a background of being sexually molested by a deranged Catholic Church priest at the age of 17. He was also a petty criminal offender that had a few run-ins with the police in his hometown in West Virginia. Merritt became a top figure on the totem pole in the Watergate scandal when he was targeted and recruited to be a confidential informant in 1970. After being fired from his job, he was approached by Detective Carl Shoffler at his apartment at 2121 Pace Street in Washington, D.C. and given $1000 in cash to compensate him. Merritt says that he feels the sexual abuse from the Catholic Church priest when he was 17 might have been a planned preparation for his future assignments as a confidential informant and assassin because he fit the description of a gay molested boy with a low self-esteem and nobody to talk to.
Detective Carl Shoffler was a hard-wired officer who was assigned to the Washington Metropolitan Police Department’s Intelligence Division by the Military Intelligence Agency. He also worked for the CIA and Interpol. Shoffler recruited Merritt as a confidential informant to spy on activists, blacks, the gay community, straights, the jews, anti-war activists, or anyone who the government thought was a potential threat or enemy. Merritt was to gather intelligence on people that fit the description of the enemy. Officer Shoffler began a sexual relationship with Merritt and moved himself, his wife, and kids into Merritt’s home which later became a central gathering station for the police department. Merritt and Shoffler continued a sexual relationship for two years. It ended just shortly after the Watergate break-in when Shoffler moved out of his apartment.
Two weeks prior to the Watergate break-in on June 1, 1972, Merritt was given confidential information by James Reed aka Rita, a drag queen friend of Merritt and operator for a telephone switchboard, who listened in on telephone calls and overheard people who identified themselves as “The Crimson Rose.” These conversations revealed that Watergate was going to take place. Merritt then tipped off Detective Shoffler with the information. Instead of preventing the break in, Shoffler decided to bring in Intelligence and set-up the burglars by sending them in a second time to get an envelope with a key to a safe deposit box that contained confidential information. Shoffler’s intention was to gain fame as the “officer that arrested the burglars” and get rid of President Nixon using a method of wiretap triangulation that he had learned from his prior training at the National Security Agency’s Vint Hill Farm Station in Virginia. Originally the break-in was planned for June 18th but Shoffler sent a message across to the Watergate burglars who were tapping the DNC’s phones that led the burglars to believe that there was something in there so important that it could not be left behind. The date was changed from the 18th to the 17th – which was also Shoffler’s birthday. He wasn’t scheduled to work that shift but he took on another shift and was parked a block away in a police car when the call came in reporting the burglary resulting in the immediate arrests.
