It wasn't the burglary that got Nixon in trouble, it was the cover-up.  For an attorney, it is often more effective to be able to prove that the other side destroyed an important document than actually having the document itself.  That way you can spin it any way you want, and the other side is hard pressed to refute it; after all they destroyed the best evidence.  In most instances, it is best to just fess-up and take your lumps as most people are willing to forgive a lapse in judgment.  But when you compound that with dishonesty, that is when many people, even supporters, draw the line.
