CRP would also give Democrat supporters wrong information about Rally's for the Democratic nominee and order pizzas and liquor to democratic campaign rallies. Woodward and Bernstien would later find there had been political sabotage tracing back to JFK.
Woodward and Bernstein were then contacted by a reliable source named Deep Throat. Deep Throat gave them information on who had control of the money in Sloan's safe. He pointed them to two high ranking official that were thought to be the masterminds of the break in and of other CRP actions of political sabotage. Their names were Bob Hadleman and John Ehrlichman. Deep throat also said the attorney general John Mitchell was also some how involved. .
As Woodward and Bernstien were having there articles published about Watergate the White House was denying any involvement in the Watergate break in and denying the CRP safe which held money that went to political sabotage. The White House also claimed that the post was only publishing story's that helped Democrats and never published stories about political sabotage on the republican campaign. They also claimed the post was sabotaging the republican campaign by writing these stories.
An investigation into Watergate was starting and in the beginning Woodward and Bernstien had their doubts that the whole truth would not be revealed. They were right the investigation was a joke. None of the names in one of the burglars" phone book were check. No leads followed up and many questions were left unanswered by the FBI's investigation. That is when Woodward and Bernstein began meeting with Deep throat again and continuing to write articles about White House involvement in Watergate. .
The 1972 approached and ended with Richard Nixon the victor with one of the biggest political landslides in US History. It showed that the post's articles about the Break in at the Watergate and supposed government involvement didn't have any impact on the republican campaign.
