Watergate Scandal

Workers shredded all incriminating documents in Haldeman's office. The White House, with President Nixon's consent, asked the CIA to urge the FBI to stop its investigations into the burglary on the grounds of national security. In addition, the CRP passed out nearly $450,000 to the Watergate burglars to buy their silence after they were indicted in September of 1972.

The main Constitutional question arose when the special counsel from Congress demanded confidential White House documents and tapes. President Nixon claimed executive privilege based on separation of powers and refused .

The events collectively known as the Watergate scandal came to light during an investigation into a break-in at the National Democratic Party headquarters in the Watergate complex in Washington, DC in 1972. The investigation led to a widening circle of actions which resulted in the resignation of President Nixon in 1974. So the Watergate Scandal happened in 1972-1974.

The president is held in check by the powers of Congress and the courts.

Um... yes, that pretty much sums it up. Thanks for answering the question in the question.

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

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

Finally the revelation of the White House system for taping conversations uncovered 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.

"It is impossible to trust a government official to be honest with the American people."

Burglars are least likely to steal items that are large, heavy, or difficult to transport, such as furniture or appliances. They also tend to avoid personal items with little resale value, like clothing or photographs, as well as items that require specific knowledge to use, such as specialized tools or equipment. Additionally, they often steer clear of locations that have strong security measures or visible surveillance.

A security guard discovered the break-in, which was actually for purposes of wire-tapping.

On June 17, 1972, a guard named Frank Wills discovered tape over door locks at the complex and removed it. When he found more tape later, he called the police, who arrested 5 men for burglary after they found them trespassing on the grounds. The five were working under the direction of Nixon subordinates G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt, both of whom were subsequently indicted.
