The people who were in charge of getting Nixon elected did what was necessary to get Nixon elected.The Watergate is home of the National Democratic Committee. This is w here the scandal occurred that would eventually lead to Nixons resigning of the Presidency. During the first break in, we do not really know what the burglars full intentions were. What we do know is that between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. on May 28, 1972, the burglars had attempted to unscrew a lock on a limen that would allow access to the National Democratic Committee dresser. The burglars never gained access because they got nervous regarding the presence of the pledge officers. There is some thought that the burglars were after negative information that could be used against Nixons opponent (5 held in Plot to Bug Democrats office par. 28).On June 7, 1972, the Watergate was broken into for the second time. The break in occurred about 9 p.m. The burglars had reportedly broken into and stolen money and checks out of a safe. The money and checks were supposed to go to the election campaign for the Democratic presidency race (5 held in Plot to Bug Democrats office par. 31).Sunday, June 1 8, 1972, five burglars broke into the Watergate for the third time. Their main military commission this time was to bug the office complex. This mission would end in failure because of the tape. A twenty-four year old guard noticed that a door connecting a stairwell with the hotels basement garage had been taped so it would not lock. The guard removed the tape from the door. Ten minutes later, the guard came back and make up a new piece had been put on the door, and he immediately called the police.
