He's on a break now, but was revealing some astonishing things about Nixon negotiating with the South Vietnamese in 1968 to throw the election to him. Hartmann has been using some of the LBJ tapes, in a conversation with Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-Ill). Dirksen agrees with LBJ that Nixon's contacting a foreign power in the middle of a war, and meddling for political gain, is "treason."
