“Plausible deniability is the ability of people (typically senior officials in a formal or informal chain of command) to denyknowledge of or responsibility for any damnable actions committed by others in an organizational hierarchy because of a lack of evidence that can confirm their participation, even if they were personally involved in or at least willfully ignorant of the actions… One aspect of the Watergate crisis is the repeated failure of the doctrine of plausible deniability, which the administration repeatedly attempted to use to stop the scandal affecting President Richard Nixon and his aides.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plausible_deniability
