Richardson, former Attorney General fired by President Richard Nixon last October 20, discussed his views of Watergate and its effects on the political system. A "thigh crime" must be determined by the House, and if the House decides that the President has committed such an act, it would be grounds for impeachment, Richardson continued. How- ever, he does not favor the immediate impeachment of Nixon. "The verdict on the President should await full disclosures of facts," he commented. When asked if he were optimistic about a full disclosure being made, Richardson said that he was not. He also stated that he would not think it wise for Nixon to step down now, while all the "pertinent facts" about the case are not known. "I;have had no information connecting the President to outright wrong-doing," Richardson added. Richardson tried to explain why Nixon has been "so reluctant so long" to furnish the needed facts about Watergate." Formerly, Nixon felt the need for "confidentiality, . . . the same privilege that the House and Senate have." Now he feels that "he's in a fight for his life." Richardson explained that "it has become a political game with enemies."
