The misguided alteration of the "Prosecutors" category to "District Attorneys" caused many articles to lose accuracy. This was one of them. Donald Segretti is one of many people who had been a prosecutor but was never a District Attorney. The two are NOT the same and it is unfortunate that the person that butchered that category was ignorant of that basic fact. I have repaired that as relates to this particular article.
Reverted and placed here to await sourcing.
The Guardian reference is nothing more than opinion piece. This violates Wikipedia policy. During the 1972 presidential election, Karl Rove was president of the College Republicans and worked to get out the vote among young people. He had no contact with Donald Segretti. In fact, all references to Rove and Segretti come from opinion pieces that do not have fact-checking. As proof, CBS news/Dan Rather did a piece on the youth vote that included an interview with Karl Rove, busy in his College Republicans office manning the phones and getting out the vote. All references to Rove being linked to Segretti are nothing but rumor and sloppy journalism. The claim that Rove was a protege of Segretti should be removed from this article.

Again, the Salon article does not say what you are claiming. Karl Rove had nothing to do with Segretti, et al. Malke 2010 ( talk) 06:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Image:Donaldsegretti.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It may not be significant, but it may want to be made clear that Segretti's original work, as employed by Chapin, was done for the White House and not for CRP. The only source I have to back this up right now is Jeb Magruder's autobiography, "An American Life". 129.62.81.241 ( talk) 06:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
The article states in the first paragraph that Segretti wrote the "Canuck Letter" that effectively derailed Muskie's presidential bid. But in Woodwood & Bernstein's "All the President's Men", as far as I can recall, White House aide Ken Clawson claimed credit for writing the letter, and I don't recall there ever being a suggestion that Segretti was involved. I could be wrong. Can anyone clarify this with new information? If not, then the statement should probably be cut from the article. 121.214.47.47 ( talk) 09:34, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
I see that someone has very promptly supplied a reference. Thanks. I'm not familiar with the work cited, but I guess there must have been lots of studies done since "All the President's Men" was published. 121.214.47.47 ( talk) 09:05, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
First sentence under this section is not an activity but media depicting an event. Also it is unclear if the actor playing Segretti or if the character in the film was the one who "downplayed the dirty tricks..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.23.63 ( talk) 20:29, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
