Christ's sake. (door slams) It wasn't Nichols or Hoover or one of Truman's guys. It was you. You gave the file to Borden. You set him on Oppenheimer. - You convinced him to... - (loudly): Borden... (in normal tone): didn't take any convincing. NICHOLS: Take your time, use the entire file. Write up your conclusion, send them to the FBI. The material is obviously extensive, but there's nothing new here. STRAUSS: Your conclusions will be. And they'll have to be answered. Hoover passes them to McCarthy? Oppenheimer's too slippery for that self-promoting clown. I've talked it over with Hoover, he'll hold McCarthy at bay while you do this with the AEC. - A trial. - No. No trial. You can't give Oppenheimer a platform. You can't martyr him. We need a systematic destruction of Oppenheimer's credibility so he can never again speak on matters of national security. Then what?
