Alexander Butterfield is a truthful, decent man who served his country honorably without regard to power or money. His interview here speaks volumes about what the consequences can be if one merely follows his conscience and does "the right thing."🇱🇷

Alexander Butterfield is currently 96 years of age and he is doing quite well.

He just gave a superb interview on Lawrence O'Donnell's MSNBC show--at age 96. Said he greatly admired Cassidy Hutchinson's 1/6 hearing testimony.

Butterfield... a man of integrity and an American hero.

Have any of you read "Last of the President's Men"? Bob Woodward wrote it based of several boxes of White House notes that Alexander Butterfield had kept at his home for over the past 45+ years. Butterfield is living in La Jolla, California.

My god please keep uploading these!!!

Great video

I'm thinking what a lot of people are thinking. Why aren't there more honorable people in govt like Butterfield--the situation now is far worse than then. He is a true American hero IMO. Great interview

He's one of the dwindling group of people who served Nixon during his administration that are still alive.

I’d forgotten about this interview.

Mike Wallace.

Shame was still a reality.

This couple seem genuine and no doubt got used and cast aside .

Speaking even as a Canadian, the world we live in today is the world that Alexander Butterfield, in his integrity, gave us. Let's everyone in the West keep it.

RIH, Alexander Butterfield, thank you for serving our country🙏🇺🇸

Butterfield advised Cassidy Hutchinson during J6 hearings

It's clearly God's will, but it is also very interesting to me that John Dean, Daniel Ellsberg, Bob Woodword, Carl Bernstein, and Alexander Butterfield are all currently living, while Richard Nixon, John Mitchell, HR Haldeman, and John Ehrlichman have all died long ago. I am just surprised that Gordon Liddy lasted as long as he did.

10:35 John Erlichman said as much. He said the White house staff did nothing on their own initiative. They carried out Richard Nixon's instructions day to day. Howard Hunt was always blaming others for Nixon's downfall. Never his own ineptness and Liddy's.

This will hopefully take your attention off the criminals in office currently…

What was the purpose of this interview? Mr Butterfield had no new information to give, as there were more detailed questions and answers during the senate hearing? Was this interview to give Mike Wallace a feather in his cap that he interviewed the man that told of the tape recordings.

Yes, Howard Hunt was former CIA. Anyone care to ask _why former?_ The man lost all credibility after being dismissed from his post as assistant CIA station chief in Venezuela, I believe it was.

Let us compare President Nixon’s act then to what’s going on in the White House and with the brilliant president that we have.

There is still a surprising lack of character in government, especially the previous Obama and Biden administrations and Democratic party.
