Very few people remember the name Alexander Butterfield, who was a rather obscure staffer in the Nixon White House. But I remember watching the Watergate Hearings when Butterfield confirmed the existence of the Oval Office recordings (hinted at earlier by John Dean), which eventually led to the fall of the Nixon administration.

So, I would never slough off even the most miniscule witnesses.

The coffee boy? Yesterday, I was thinking he is the equivalent of Dean. Maybe not. Maybe a Dean-like person will come later, someone higher up.

How Jimmy Carter's Face-Off with a Rabbit Changed the Presidency
https://www.wnyc.org/story/hare-brained-history-curious-case-jimmy-carter-v-rabbit/



Of all the crises that President Carter faced in 1979 -- gas shortages, hostage-taking, runaway inflation -- his bizarre encounter with a crazed swimming rabbit on a Georgia lake was as damaging as any to his image. The incident crystallized an emerging sense that Carter was a man in over his head.

The view was disputable. Carter had gotten off to a strong start as president, especially with his Nobel Prize-winning achievement of forging the Camp David peace accords between Israel and Egypt. But by the time the "killer rabbit" story broke on a sluggish news day in August 1979, many of Carter's efforts to project himself as a forceful leader had fizzled or backfired.
