Was Nixon responsible for the Watergate break-in?
Yes he was involved. On the Watergate tapes he can be heard telling Dean that they need to break into the Watergate building where the headquarters were located.
Was the Senate Watergate Committee investigation constitutionally or politically motivated?
The early 1970s was a time of hyper partisanship. The Democratically controlled Congress, while attacking the Nixon Administration's prosecution of the inherited Vietnam War gave the Democratic Johnson Administration the blank check necessary to draw America into the asian conflict. Despite wide spread knowledge of misuse of the CIA, IRS and FBI by the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, the Democratically controlled Congresses chose not to investigate misuse and abuse of power. The same leading figures who found a compelling case for investigating the Nixon Administration sat silently through the widespread abuse and misuse of power occurring under the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. There was no stated concern for the institutions of government by many of the same individuals who claimed that they were at stake by the actions of the Nixon Administration.

The tapes came out despite Nixon because he was finally exposed for his part in the break in.
