At the time Nixon ordered campaign funds to be used to pay Watergate burglers legal defense, there was no law prohibiting the action. The FEC was created to install reporting requirements and regulations. It's rulings often take years and are farcical. For instance, A President Obama was found to have accepted $2 million in illegal contributions and ordered to pay a $300,000 fine, thus pocketing $1.7 million in illegal money. It's not much of a deterence, and no condolation to the public to be informed six months after a criminal regime leaves office.
