Coincidentally, that's one of the things that led to Nixon's downfall. Parallel to Watergate was the prosecution of Daniel Ellsberg for the Pentagon Papers leak. Ellsberg's trial was nullified (I think it was declared a mistrial, but don't quote me on that) after it was revealed that Nixon's goons had threatened to kill him repeatedly. Interestingly, Nixon's "plumbers" were convened to originally attack Ellsberg.
