It wasn't so much that the FBI was "tipped" off about Watergate, but how far it went up the chain of command. When the group broke into the building and the offices of the Democratic headquarters they got caught by just a bit of making tape and a guard who found it. So, the FBI was involved right from the start. The question was who ordered the break in or were the men invloved loners. No one believed they were doing this on their own, but they needed to prove it went as high as Nixon. That is where "deep throat" comes in. Deep throat met with the reporters off and on passing info that would lead them to Nixon.
