Plumbers



Plumbers were retired CIA, FBI, or secret service people who tried to clean up the mess from Watergate. The tried to find dirt on Daniel Ellsberg, but he was as clean as a whistle. He didn't do anything wrong, so they broke into Watergate and tried to help him get reelected by seeing what the competition was going to do.
