===Watergate scandal===

On 27 January 1972, Liddy presented a campaign intelligence plan to the [[Committee for the Re-Election of the President]] that involved extensive unlawful activities against the Democratic party. His initial plan was rejected by CRP chairman [[Jeb Magruder]], Attorney General [[John Mitchell]] and Presidential Counsel [[John Dean]]; however, two months later the three of them approved a smaller-scale version of Liddy's plan which involved breaking into the Democratic party's headquarters, the Watergate complex, in order to photograph campaign documents and install listening devices.

In May, [[Alfred Baldwin]] was assigned to bug the Watergate complex's phone lines and monitor the phone conversations afterwards. After this failed to produce any meaningful results, Liddy and Hunt assigned a five-man team consisting of [[James McCord]], [[Virgilio Gonzalez]], [[Bernard Barker]], [[Eugenio Martinez]] and [[Frank Sturgis]] to break into the complex on 28 May and wiretap the office phones, with Baldwin acting as a spotter. This was successful, with the phones of DNC chairman Larry O'Brien and Association of State Democratic Chairmen director Robert Spencer Oliver being bugged.
