Magnesium Phosphate, Tribasic, occurs as a white, crystalline powder. It may contain four, five, or eight molecules of water of hydration. It is readily soluble in dilute mineral acids, but is almost insoluble in water.
In May 1972, as evidence would later show, members of Nixonâs Committee to Re-Elect the President (known derisively as CREEP) broke into the Democratic National Committeeâs Watergate headquarters, stole copies of top-secret documents and bugged the officeâs phones.
On the tapes that Dean mischaracterizes or completely ignores, the former White House counsel tells Nixon for the first time on March 13 that the Watergate break-in is connected to the White House through Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman's aide Gordon Strachan -- who is receiving transcripts of the Watergate bugs.
