What exactly did he lie about?
First off, I have a huge problem with the whole "unnamed source" garbage - translation: I made up a story and used a FAKE source in order to relate something that never happened.
It's a favorite amongst extremist and their never-ending quest to slam the opposition.
Jerome Corsi is famous for this - It's basically a way to smear someone without having to prove your allegations.
Hey, it works ... evidently.
Are you saying Watergate was a hoax?
NO, IF I DID I would have came right out and said "Watergate was a Hoax."
Here's a little refresher for you:

Timeline:

Gordon Liddy and former CIA and FBI veteran James McCord, Security Director of the Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP), are found guilty of conspiracy, burglary and bugging DNC headquarters. Five other people indicted in the Watergate had already pleaded guilty, early in the trial.
April 30, 1973 - Four of President Nixon's aides resign as the Watergate scandal grows. They are: John Dean, White House counsel; H. R. Haldeman, chief of staff; John D. Ehrlichman, assistant for domestic affairs; and Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst.

July 23, 1973 - In a letter to Sam Ervin, Nixon explains his reason for not turning over the presidential tapes as "the special nature of tape recordings of private conversations is such that these principles (of executive privilege) apply with even greater force to tapes of private presidential conversations than to presidential papers."
