No! Not the kind of plumber that fixes your leaking pipes. G. Gordon Liddy’s full birth name is George Gordon Battle Liddy. He was chief executive of the covert ‘White House Special Investigation Unit’ in 1971, commonly referred to as ‘The White House Plumbers‘ which was set up to stop the leaking of classified information to the media.

The ‘Pentagon Papers’ and the ‘Watergate Scandal’ were a integral part of illegal activities that eventually saw G. Gordon Liddy sentenced to a 20 year prison term.
Liddy ended up serving just 4.5 years after being released on parole after a commuting of sentence by the newly elected president ‘Jimmy Carter’.

The bald American criminal, author, actor, occasional commentator and retired radio host is easily recognised with his bald head and big moustache.
