In one of our games, Richard Nixon was "in the loop" with COT during 1969-72. Bruce saw something coming down the road with the President after Nixon, George McGovern. Nixon set up Watergate to both take McGovern out of the picture and draw attention away from TMP.
Notice that in his later life, Nixon was considered something of an "elder statesman". We figured that this was the LEAST Bruce Morrow could do to repay Nixon.
