Jeb Stuart Magruder (November 5, 1934 – May 11, 2014) was an American <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyterian" title="Presbyterian" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Presbyterian</a> minister, businessman, civil servant and author. A Deputy Director of Richard Nixon's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_to_Re-Elect_the_President" title="Committee to Re-Elect the President" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Committee to Re-Elect the President</a>, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy and served time in a federal prison as a result of his participation in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate" title="Watergate" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Watergate</a> affair. Magruder's recollection of Richard Nixon's involvement in the burglary and subsequent coverup became clearer after leaving public life and entering retirement. He was a published author and spent a number of years speaking publicly about ethics and his role in the Watergate scandal. A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Republican</a>, Magruder was the second official in the administration of President <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Richard Nixon</a> to plead guilty to charges of involvement with events resulting in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_burglaries" title="Watergate burglaries" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">first Watergate burglary</a>and the subsequent <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal" title="Watergate scandal" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Watergate scandal</a> (the first being <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_LaRue" title="Fred LaRue" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Fred LaRue</a>).

Magruder moved to Chicago for his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBA" title="MBA" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">MBA</a> studies, and changed employers to the consulting firm <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booz_Allen_Hamilton" title="Booz Allen Hamilton" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Booz Allen Hamilton</a>. Magruder's first major political job was managing the successful 1962 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_election" title="Primary election" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">primary</a> campaign of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Rumsfeld" title="Donald Rumsfeld" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Donald Rumsfeld</a> for the Republican nomination, preparing for the congressional election in the 13th district of Illinois, to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">United States House of Representatives</a>. Rumsfeld subsequently won the congressional election.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Stuart_Magruder#cite_note-7" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[7]</a> Magruder ended his consulting job later in 1962 to become employed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_(supermarket)" title="Jewel (supermarket)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jewel</a>, a regional grocery firm, where he worked for three-and-a-half years, being promoted to merchandise manager.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Stuart_Magruder#cite_note-8" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[8]</a>

Magruder became involved with the Illinois organization of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater" title="Barry Goldwater" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Barry Goldwater</a> presidential campaign in late 1963, but became disillusioned with Goldwater's political views.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Stuart_Magruder#cite_note-9" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[9]</a> He then worked briefly as campaign manager for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Ogilvie" title="Richard Ogilvie" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Richard Ogilvie</a>'s 1966 campaign for president of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook_County,_Illinois" title="Cook County, Illinois" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Cook County</a> Board of Supervisors. The political workload, combined with work pressures, caused Magruder to end employment with Jewel and relocate to California in mid-1966, where he began a new job at a high salary with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadway_Stores" title="Broadway Stores" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Broadway Stores</a> company.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Stuart_Magruder#cite_note-10" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[10]</a> Magruder's next political involvement started in mid-1967, when he served as Southern California coordinator for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Richard Nixon</a> presidential campaign, but left early in 1968 due to internal organizational problems.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Stuart_Magruder#cite_note-11" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[11]</a>

Magruder entered partnership during early 1969 with two other entrepreneurs to start two new businesses, and became president and chief executive officer of these firms.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Stuart_Magruder#cite_note-12" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[12]</a>
