"The White House Plumbers"
"The Plumbers," as they were commonly termed, were a White House Special Investigations Unit, established by President Richard Nixon in July, 1971. This was a reaction after Daniel Ellsberg had leaked what became known as <em>The Pentagon Papers </em>to the <em>New York Times</em>, and the <em>Times </em>began publishing excerpts from them in June, 1971.
Members of the Plumbers unit were responsible for the Watergate break-ins that resulted in the scandal that eventually brought down the Nixon presidency.
