. Nixon sent in burglars into the Watergate building where the democratic headquarters was located. A security guard found them by noticing a piece of masking tape on the door jam. Nixon was able to hide his relationship with the burglars until it was discovered that his instructions had been taped in the Oval Office. Two investigative journalists were told about the taped conversations and were able to uncover the plot. Not long after in an interview with David Frost Nixon stated that the president was "above the law" and laws didn't apply to him.
