Best Answer

Money that was paid to the "plumbers" was traced to a slush fund linked to the Commitee to RE Elect the President (CREEP).

Subsequent investigations, spurred by ongoing coverage in the Washington Post, to high ranking officials in the Nixon administration.

Finally the revelation of the White House system for taping conversations led to the "smoking gun" a tape which proved that the President himself had knowledge of the cover-up.

Nixon's only option, to avoid impeachment, was to resign the Presidency.
