First of all five men — Bernard Barker, Virgilio González, Eugenio Martínez, James W. McCord, Jr., and Frank Sturgis — were discovered and arrested for breaking into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel.\n\nHowever, it was soon discovered that they received their orders from E.Howard Hunt and G Gordon Liddy who work in the White House special investigations unit and were called "plumbers" who were responsible for ordering Watergate.\nand they were soon indicted.\n\nAfter an investigation, one of the seven, probably McCord linked the Watergate incident to the Committee to Reelect the President where the funds for watergate were paid out. This led to the investigation of John Mitchell, the Attorney General, who had headed the CRP. He was indicted along with campaign manager ampaign manager Jeb Stuart Magruder and Fred LaRue as they had approved of Hunt and Libby's sabotage plans. Charles Colson, the President's chief aide was also implicated as he was heavily involved in the CRP.\n\nFurther investigations showed that Watergate led all the way up to the White House as acting FBI Director implicated John Dean the White House Counsel by saying that he had passed FBI files to Dean and his predecessor John Ehrlichman, who was currently the Presdential Advisor on Domestic affairs. Investigations revealed that they were responsible for a massive cover up operation on Watergate. \n\nGordon C Strachan (assistant to Mitchell), Robert Mardian and Kenneth Parkinson (legal aid to the CRP) were also indicted for their involvement with the cover up and together with Mitchell, Colson, Erhlichman and Haldeman made up the famous Watergate Seven that were charged.\n\nProsecutors soon discovered proof that a tape existed containing conversations between Nixon and he was subpoenaed to give them up and refused. That led to a mounting campaign against him with the house and senate threatening to indict the President before the Supreme Court finally forced him to hand over the tapes. That ultimately led to Nixon's resignation.

The term "Watergate" refers to a series of events, spanning from 1972 to 1974, that began with U.S. President Nixon's administration's abuse of power toward the goal of undermining the Democratic Party and the opposition to the Vietnam War. The events got their name from burglaries of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C.. Though Nixon had endured two years of mounting political embarrassments, the court-ordered release of the "smoking gun tape" about the burglaries in August 1974 brought with it the prospect of certain impeachment for Nixon, and he resigned only four days later on August 9. He was the first, and still only, U.S. president to resign from office.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal\n\nwatergate scandal\nhttp://history1900s.about.com/od/watergatescandal/\n\n(1972–75), U.S. political scandal surrounding the revelation of illegal activities on the part of the incumbent Republican administration of President Richard M.

Yes, had Nixon not been the paranoid man that he was, his ability to conduct foreign affairs with almost pinpoint precision would have made him a man of the ages.  Instead, most people refer to him as the president behind Watergate.  That's a shame.  He was also very adept at working both sides of the political aisle in US politics.  He was a genius at times.

He's a man that allowed the power of the presidency go over his head. He is guilty of:\n\n1.) Lying to the American people over the reasons for the Iraqi War.\n\n2.) Has allowed Dick Cheny to give out choice contracts for Iraqi Reconstruction to choice companies instead of putting them up for bidding.\n\n3.) He is guilty of violating wire tapping laws and has placed himself above the law by hiding behind the excuse," its to fight terrorism" (R.Nixon was impeached because he violated wire tapping laws.)\n\n4.) Hes a douche bag, plain and simple.

The answer to that question lies in the many illegal activities of one man, the Secretary of State in the state of Ohio, J. Kenneth Blackwell, who was also the co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign in Ohio, AND who was also a staunch Bush supporter!  Ohio was the last of the battleground states, the one that John Kerry could have declared victory with in the Electoral College!  You don't hear much about this white collar criminal, the kind of pond scum the Bush administration is so good at creating and then covering up!!  All one needs to do is Google his name--there are more irregularities in his ethics and practices than there are nooks and crannies in Thomas's English muffins!!  Bush stole the election in 2000 with his illegal "anointment" by the Supreme Court!  He "won" in Ohio with the chicanery of his greasy friend, J. Kenneth Blackwell!

He dodged the draft, cheated on his wife over and over, stole from the public (white water), basically fooled a lot of people.  Fooling people is what the democrats have been about since FDR.

Getting caught \nHe should have had a buffer between him and the controversy \nand a patsy to blame it on.\nAbove all he should have not got involved and betrayed the voters that put him in office.

Not a fiend, but he was arrested in 1972.\n\ndaddy's pull got the records mostly expunged and eventually sealed

Nope, gone long ago.\n\nOne of the first to depart was Daniel Webster (circa 1840) in the matter of a charter for a bank in which he had some interest.\n\nAll bets were off in the 1860's when the principals of the Union Pacific wandered the halls of Congress giving out stock to the members.\n\nThe last man I can think of with anywhere near that kind of integrity would be William Proxmire (Senator, Wisconsin, D, 1957-1989)\n\nToday we have the sterling examples of the California congressman recently convicted of bribery and the Louisiana congressman with the $90,000 cash in his freezer.\n\nRecall the fine print on Chief Wiggums badge: "Cash Bribes Only".

I'll say Collidge, with Teapot Dome. Nixon comes in a close second with Watergate. G. W. Bush is seriously making a move for number one with his completely clueless domestic policy, though. Who's not even in the running? Clinton. Presidents have had extramarital affairs since Washington, and it's only the fact that we're able to shine a brighter light on the presidency that it was brought to light.

The Watergate scandal was a slow-building series of embarrassing and incriminating disclosures about the conduct of the Nixon administration in using its political authority and executive powers, beginning with the disclosure of the Pentagon Papers—a highly classified Defense Department study of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and preceding political and military conflicts in the Southeast Asia region, in the wake of the end of French Indochina colonial occupation.\n\nRead all about it at the link below.

That's a hard one... I suppose it would be Dick cuz he shot someone in the face though. The biggest crook of them all  would be Karl Rove.

None, he has committed no constitutional breach or federal crime.  What crime would you say he has committed?
