Nixon: Guilty of "Mens Rea," but not of being the brains of the outfit.

Yes, RMN had culpable intent, but he was being manipulated and indeed set up.

What started as a more or less legitimate response to the "Moorer-Radford Affair" (if about which you don't know, you literally do not know the first thing about Watergate), was hijacked by people with different agendas.

Such as John Dean. DNC HQ was his target because his girlfriend's name was in a black book used to set visiting Dem big shots up with good-time girls. When the fertilizer hit the ventilator, the first thing he did was arrange a quickie wedding ceremony, so what she knew would not be available to any grand jury.

RMN was a putz, and his willingness to break the law was his undoing, but, there's a lot more to the story.
