The call girl ring does seem to be part of the story, though. Silent Coup goes into a lot of detail on it. For many decades, the CIA/FBI/MIC/Mafia and others have been using brothels to arrange for the blackmailing of powerful people. This probably goes on all the time, and it's one of the ways they control elected officials. The NSA was/is probably involved too.
Nixon isolated himself so much, and would only deal face-to-face with a handful of people, it was very easy for the CIA and others to infiltrate his "Plumbers" outfit and trap Nixon's people in a sting operation. I think originally they only intended to weaken Nixon, just to issue a warning to back off on China/USSR/arms control, etc., but then it escalated.
