===Impeachment proceedings===

Nixon's "Enemies list" went 20 years and consisted mostly of individuals who were outraged that a back Congressional backbencher-Richard Nixon-had disgraced an FDR protege, a major author of the [[United Nations Charter]] and its first Secretary General. Alger Hiss was an obvious choice to carry on the New Deal tradition in the post-World War II era, but Nixon stuck him in prison. From there, Nixon got himself elected to the Senate, the Vice Presidency, and the President.

The leak of the [[Pentagon Papers]], a catalog of the sins of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, outraged Nixon. Theft of classified government documents Nixon was very familiar with in the Amerasia and Hiss cases. Hoover refused to act, based upon Hoover's own experience in the foregoing cases. So Nixon authorized the creation of a secret, non-governmental "Plumbers unit" to fix government leaks. The outfit was funded by his 1972 re-election committee.
