After being set up by Mike Felt, AKA Deep Throat who worked with the Washington Post.
Felt also worked on COINTELPRO and for Hoover. Who managed to screw up the Weather Underground prosecutions (allegedly this was deliberate!). Who got prosecuted, then was pardoned by Reagan... some time after the assassination attempt with paperwork dated a few days before the attempt that was not announced until much later.
Weird how politically connected everything is, no?
Even that is a ridiculous comparison. Watergate was nothing by comparison, and everybody in the Cabinet got locked up.
And Nixon resigned despite the landslide election victory he had had.

Alexander Haig was really deepthroat. He was colleagues with Woodward from the naval intel.
