His response was that it was the basic physics of the adhesion that required the tape to be applied horizontally, adhering to three different surfaces, rather than vertically, adhering only to the flat edge of the door, which wouldn't have held the tongue of the door firmly open.

The final break-in is analyzed is great detail, and we learn (among other things) that McCord had free access to the DNC and entered it on a number of occasions (per Baldwin) prior to the break-ins.

McCoy made stupid mistakes during the burglary and it was him who alarmed judge Sirica about hush money. That is just too much of a coincidence. I am not accusing anybody because both right and left are useful to keep the balance. Without he right the US would have spoken Russian and without the average citizen WW III would have started long ago. Some people became upset when they heard of the coming vistit to China. A woman from Texas wrote in a letter to RN that she hoped that the Chinese would keep him. (Indeed a few years later Mao offered the same to RN). Experienced conspirators don't need to create a complot, they wait for opportunities and curb them into some direction. So during the carrying out the ridiculous plan of Liddy became even more unrealistic.
