It also proposed luring mid-level Democratic campaign officials to a Baltimore houseboat and secretly photographing them in compromising situations with prostitutes.
Liddy concocted several plots in early 1972, collectively known under the title "Operation Gemstone."
Operation Gemstone included plans to kidnap anti-war organizers and transport them to Mexico during the Republican National Convention, then planned for San Diego.
Some of these were far-fetched, intended to embarrass the Democratic opposition.
