Editing G. Gordon Liddy (section)

==Legacy and Critical Perspective== 
G. Gordon Liddy’s journey from FBI agent to Watergate mastermind and conservative icon reflects the turbulent politics of the Cold War and Nixon era. His role in the Watergate Scandal, detailed in The Senate Watergate Report, was pivotal in Nixon’s downfall, exposing the dangers of unchecked political power. His post-prison reinvention as a radio host and author, documented in Will, made him a cultural figure, admired by some for his defiance and reviled by others for his lawbreaking.

- Establishment Narrative: Sources like The New York Times (2021) and The Washington Post (2021) portray Liddy as a zealous operative whose Watergate actions were misguided but driven by loyalty to Nixon. They emphasize his media career while downplaying CIA ties, aligning with the Rockefeller Commission’s (1975) denial of agency.
