Nixon sent 5 men into the Watergate building into the Democratic offices. This was not only illegal and an attempt to get information to use in the election, but dirty tricks on Nixon's part. The evidence came from his own words. The Oval Office had a tape system and everything Nixon said was recorded. The instructions to the burglars and what he wanted. After the cover up was discovered men like G. Gordon Liddy ( who organized the break in) had to tell the truth because he was also on the recordings. Several books have been written by the men in the break in and the administration. Nixon in a David Frost interview made a revealing comment about presidential power. He stated that a president was beyond the law. A reenactment has been made of this interview I suggest you find and watch it especially if you are studying Nixon.
