Listening to this, I kinda get the sense that Nixon (and Haldeman, for that matter) were in the dark about this. Like they knew of 'campaign operations' of a nefarious nature, not unlike what any major campaign would do, but them seem caught off guard by what the burglars actually did, like it wasn't something they approved of. I know history records it differently, but that's what I'm hearing anyway.

In August 1973, Magruder pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to wiretap, obstruct justice and defraud the United States. He served seven months in federal prison.[2] Committee for the re-election of the President i.e. otherwise known as (creep)..

How are you, PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON.

I love how this 'smoking gun' tape includes Haldeman speaking for the majority of it, about legal defense, and simply telling Nixon what had happened with the break in, and possible sources as to who the perpetrator could have been, and Nixon rarely speaking, and when he does speak, get says over and over again that they need to figure out who did this, because they don't know, and they think that the FBI is either out of control, or it was a CIA operation, saying multiple times that they need to figure out who this was, because they had nothing to do with it. The FBI being out of control they say within the 0:00 - 1:30 mark Nixon saying they need to figure out who is responsible for this whole mess: 3:55 - 5:10 Haldeman saying an investigation determined it was a not a White House operation, and that it could have either been a non-political agent, or a result of CIA intervention, possibly with the Cubans: the rest of the video. And yes, the CIA gets involved with internal U.S. affairs. You think these guys really have the cleanest records when it comes to following the law? Also the snippet with the Cubans makes sense, because the Communist-run island is virtually cut off from U.S. financial systems, while simultaneously being close to Miami, therefore they could sneak funds to specific sectors of government. Plus, Castro doesn't want a Nixon that managed to convince China to side against the Soviets, to posture against a possible nuclear launch point in the South of Florida. The thing with these 'smoking gun' tapes, is that no one bothers to actually listen to them, or even learn about the Watergate ordeal from all perspectives, and then from the added perspective of historical precedent: are there ambitious political figures / factions in government (regardless of party) vying for political power? Do people have anything personal to gain? Where is the money going, and coming from? Where is the power headed? When you factor these into your own investigation of this ordeal, if gives perspective on what figures were playing what cards, and how the operation to illegitimately take down a president was carried out. The funny part was that LBJ wiretapped Barry Goldwater's plane in 1964.

On May 27, 1972, members of a White House unit nicknamed "The Plumbers", broke into the DNC Headquarters at the Watergate Building to install listening devices in the ceiling and on phones in order to spy on McGovern's campaign moves. On June 17, 1972, they broke back in to adjust the listening devices because they weren't functioning properly. THIS time they were caught in the act of burglarizing the office and got arrested. This same group was Nixon's goon squad, often assigned tasks like finding out who leaked classified information to the media. It was later revealed they also burglarized a psychiatrist's office in Beverly Hills, CA looking for dirt on a patient named Daniel Ellsberg, who was famous for leaking the Pentagon Papers to media. So, the Plumbers were committing all kinds of crimes to dig up dirt on Nixon's "enemies". After the Plumbers were arrested, the White House (including Nixon himself) engaged in covering up the crimes. And because Nixon had his own office bugged with listening devices, we have these recordings, like this one proving when he knew about the Watergate break-in and proves he helped plan a cover-up.

One thing is for sure. Power can make people suspicious of other people , why: They think anyone that does NOT agree with their ideologies or policies "hates"them. Nixon had the wrong people around him. They fed that beast, he then was misguided to the next level: PARANOIA. He trusted no one and hated almost everybody. Think of this :The 60s and early 70s in the US have to be in the top 5 most turbulent decades in US history. Every president connected to it was damaged or killed: JFK( Assassinated) , LBJ( stressed out with Civil right legislation, Vietnam etc ) refused to run again because he knew he would die in office, and Nixon( forced to resign, due to criminal conduct in office) in 1974. The 60s and 70s until about 1976 were insane!
