Before we get to the HOW and the WHY, we have to understand why Nixon was involved with the cabal in the first place? Let's review some things we discussed a week or so ago regarding Nixon’s beginnings.
Richard Nixon’s political career began in 1945, when as a navy officer he was assigned to review some captured Nazi documents.
Allen Dulles (who would go on to become Director of Central Intelligence, 1953) told Nixon to keep quiet about what he had seen and, in return, arranged to finance Nixon’s

Dulles was part of Project Paperclip and would later become Director of Central Intelligence.
