Weicker was the first Republican to blow the whistle on the Watergate cover-up; the first to denounce White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman; the first and only senator to vote for open Watergate hearings; the first to interview White House counsel John Dean; the first to demand that the IRS audit President Nixon’s income taxes; the first to submit direct questions to the president about his role in the cover-up and the first to demand the reversal of the incomprehensible agreement between Senators Baker and Erwin and President Nixon to let aged and infirm Senator John Stennis audit the White House tapes.

Three people have said that the idea of an illegal entry into the Watergate originated earlier than April 1972: Jeb Magruder, John Dean, and James McCord. Magruder and Dean have stated in sworn testimony that "surreptitious entry" of Watergate, among other targets, had been discussed by Liddy as early as February 4, 1972 in one of Liddy's two presentations of what has come to be known as the "GEMSTONE" plan.
