Reply #36: Another question I have: was the Watergate breakin all about covering up the coup d'etat?

Is it possible that the Democrats had gotten hold of incriminating photos and other evidence linking Nixon and his aids to the crime, which they could use against him? Aren't there Nixon tapes where he explicitely states that the "Bay of Pigs" thing needs to be hushed, and where he setup the Plummers operation in order to protect the reputation of the presidency and the CIA? Didn't he call the Warren commission a "great hoax"?
