    "ocrText": "21\nIt gets into a hazy area, he added, to which Dash agreed and then\nindicated questioning was getting into matter of testimony which\nthey shouldn't discuss. Schorr then inquired and Dash denied\nif he were criticizing Thompson for going too far.\nSTRACHAN\nABC's Donaldson said Strachan acknowledged he was HRH's\nconduit about CREP activities but denied Magruder's story that he\n(Magruder) had told him about the bugging in advance. Strachan\non film said re: political intelligence that Magruder had testified\nin \"general, carefully hedged and characteristically vague\" terms\nand Jeb assumed he automatically sent info about bugging or called\nand gave Strachan a general description of intelligence plans.\nStrachan said if any 1 had heard about plans involving prostitution,\ngoon squads, kidnapping, or wire-tapping, I would be unlikely to\nforget it and\" I wouldn't forget, 11 said Strachan. He said Magruder\ndidn't give him that info and not in those details. Donaldson notes\nStrachan was \"quite definite\" about not receiving or passing on wire-tap\nmaterial. Strachan on film noted that Magruder had testified that he\n(Strachan) had never received wire-tap data, nor passed it on or\nshredded it. Strachan noted Jeb testified that he'd made only 1 copy\nand that it was SO sensitive that he wouldn't let it out of his öffice.\nDonaldson noted that Strachan was correct that Magruder had said he'd\nnever turned over the files but that Strachan came to his office and\nread them, which Donaldson notes Strachan didn't include in his\ntestimony and about which he'll undoubtedly be asked Mon.\nSchorr said Strachan's statement was mainly aimed at Magruder,\ndenying Jeb even showed him 1st wild Liddy plan. Dan said each\nwitness has had \"his own particular villain\" and for Strachan\nit's Magruder who trumpeted his successes and hid his failure.\nStrachan played down his own role as conduit of info between\nCREP and WH, saying Dean \"was designated as the WH contact\"\nfor CREP on political intelligence matters. \"As a result, my\ninquiries about political intelligence were slight. HRH seldom\nhad to attend meetings on the subject. He rarely asked me a question\nabout the subject SO I seldom reported about it to him. 11"
