After the Watergate scandal and Nixon resigned, how were the careers and reputations affected of the politicians, white house staff, etc etc, whom were found out later to be lying about the extent of Nixon's abuse of presidential power and subsequent cover-up?

This very similar question asked less than a month ago may be of interest, though it pertains to Nixon's apologists in the press rather than those among his own staff. /u/The_Alaskan's reply on the conservative press' reaction to the Watergate scandal can provide useful context, and /u/jackorjoker's recommendation of the book "Watergate: The Presidential Scandal that Shook America" may still be relevant- he said it capably covered the scandal in general as well as the press' reaction to it in particular.
