The administration of Richard Nixon was obsessive to the point of paranoia regarding "leaks" of information the the press & other media. The men given the job of plugging those leaks were given the nickname of "plumbers". (Plumbers are also reputed to 'get rid of the sh*t)
The White House Plumbers, sometimes simply called the Plumbers, were a covert White House Special Investigations Unit established July 24, 1971 during the presidency of Richard Nixon. Its task was to stop the leaking of classified information to the news media. Its members branched into illegal activities working for the Committee to Re-elect the President, including the Watergate break-in and the ensuing Watergate scandal.
