PART 1 - • Watergate Scandal - A...
PART 2 - • Watergate Scandal - T...
Watergate was a major political scandal in the United States in the 1970s, following a break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C., and President Richard Nixon's administration's attempted cover-up of its involvement. When the conspiracy was discovered and investigated by the U.S. Congress, the Nixon administration's resistance to its probes led to a constitutional crisis.
The term Watergate has come to encompass an array of clandestine and often illegal activities undertaken by members of the Nixon administration. Those activities included such "dirty tricks" as bugging the offices of political opponents and people of whom Nixon or his officials were suspicious. Nixon and his close aides ordered the harassment of activist groups and political figures using the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The scandal led to the discovery of multiple cases of abuse of power by the Nixon administration, articles of impeachment, and the resignation of Nixon as President of the United States on August 9, 1974. The scandal also resulted in the indictment of 69 people, with trials or pleas resulting in 25 being found guilty and incarcerated, many of whom were Nixon's top administration officials.
The affair began with the arrest of five men for breaking and entering the DNC headquarters at the Watergate complex on Saturday, June 17, 1972. The FBI investigated and discovered a connection between cash found on the burglars and a slush fund used by the Committee for the Re-Election of the President (CREEP), the official organization of Nixon's campaign. In July 1973, evidence mounted against the President's staff, including testimony provided by former staff members in an investigation conducted by the Senate Watergate Committee. The investigation revealed that President Nixon had a tape-recording system in his offices and recorded many conversations.
After a protracted series of bitter court battles, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the president was obligated to release the tapes to government investigators, and he eventually complied. These audio recordings implicated the president, revealing he had attempted to cover up activities after the break-in and use federal officials to deflect the investigation. Facing near-certain impeachment in the House of Representatives and equally certain conviction by the Senate, Nixon resigned from the presidency on August 9, 1974. On September 8, 1974, his successor, Gerald Ford, pardoned him.
The name "Watergate" and the suffix "-gate" have since become synonymous with political scandals in the United States and elsewhere.

Great series. Very detailed reconstruction of the Watergate timeline and an objective look at all of the players and the nature of their involvement.
This man who was born to become President. He worked so hard, all the way up to become President. But he destroyed himself...with his own paranoia
THIS SERIES IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST ON WATERGATE.
This is without a doubt the most comprehensive Watergate documentary I've ever seen. This is A LOT of information!
This is a very good doc series but it's far from comprehensive. They didn't even mention the resignation of VP Agnew. When Watergate was getting heavy & Agnew was still VP, I saw that Nixon would be impeached but NO Way could I see Agnew becoming President. I thought that they might assassinate him just to get him out of the way. Instead, they came up with a convenient little scandal in his home state that "caused" him to resign. That's when Ford came in as VP. I'm sure that I wasn't alone in seeing that whatever happened to Nixon that NO Way Spiro Agnew would become President. ... So.Experienced@gmail.com
I agree
@@wolfgangkulik6850 it's in the previous episodes.
Wolfgang, you must have been sleeping during part 2 of the series. They did about 5 minutes on Agnew's fall and resignation.
Great Series - lessons for the ages, lessons for the present.. take herd of these accounts!
Glad you like them!
Fantastic documentary. Thank you so much for posting this and making it available to everyone. 🙏
The BEST documentary on Nixon's offenses.
A time when our elected officials actually served their constituents and their county. Too bad today the GOP only cares about staying in power and preserving their party.
So many similarities between Nixon and Trump including threats and statements.. Wow!
ZERO similarities. You CLEARLY have no grasp on reality or facts.
History repeats itself !!
We may have had flaws, like bending the laws..........We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean
Of all the terrible things Richard M. Nixon did, comparing himself to Gandhi has to be among the worst.
And then Ford made all of this moot.....
that was one of the real scandals here
It was in his power to do so.
Ford did it so that he could concentrate on all of the other issues he had on his plate. Nixon, though gone, was still there in the day to day operations of the presidency. Had Ford not pardoned him, he likely would have been convicted and gone to jail. That would have settled the issue as to whether a president is immune from criminal charges and we wouldn’t be dealing with it now regarding Trump.
Right they impeach presidents all the time now for far less. I like the quote. "Well if the president does it, it'd not illegal." That wouldn't fly now, which is probably good.
"Others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them." --Richard Milhous Nixon.
Charles Sandman haha great name!!!!!!!!!!
Nixion was such a scum bag. He still makes my stomach turn...barf
12:19 "It was really, a really a roium of muith"
The cover of others involved at a higher level it seems.
dont agree with what nixon did--but who doesnt say hell
The dynamic, the relationship between the electorate and those who seek election should never include trust. Yes, of course politicians and aspiring politicians use trust in much the same way as they use their public service, their credentials and criticism of their opponents. But just because they want to appear trustworthy, or that they court our trust, doesn't mean we should. It doesn't even mean we should include it in our decisions. I would argue strongly that trust should never form even the smallest part of our basis for choosing elected officials. Trust leads to complacency and complacency leads to corruption.
Fast Forward from 1974 to the present. Once again history repeats itself. It's as if Trump is following the Watergate playbook page by page.
Mr. democrat, what you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. 😁

interesting job - secretary to the president
Wtf y would you tape your self
this a BBC documentary from 1993 I think dubbed with US audio...why?
Why does my computer freeze less than halfway through Parts 1 & 2?
Just imagine ... what if the burglars did not place duct tape across that door latch that Frank Wills noticed and removed (2x) and subsequently called authorities ... simple presence of tape on a door ... and hence, the ensuing sweep of calamitous history unfolded as it did.
Too bad Haig made an ass of himself for all eternity after Reagan was shot. He was a bright guy.
My uncle was in the Navy in Vietnam when Haig was CINC of MACV. He says something different.
4:49 = comeuppance.
A recent analisys of the tape showed it was re-recorded at least 5 times before it was erased.

Today we have a similar aspect to ask..is it coincidence or some other structural scene that need changed. To an end but blames another prez for wronging with war.
Send a copy of this Documentary to Donald Trump and his sycophant supporters He is soon to be impeached for the same things Nixon thought he could get away with . (posted 12-12-19)
Didn't know ''Elmer Fudd'' was part of the Grand Jury!
Oh c'mon. I think his cornpone accent is cute.
OMG I just thought about something. President, Donald Trump has that hearing thingy tomorrow, what if this happens all over again?
It basically is, but it is unlikely they will find solid enough evidence to impeach Trump. If it were not for those tapes, Nixon probably would have gotten away with it. The worse that will happen is they will find more information to implicate Trump, which is more likely to turn the public against reelecting him in 2020.
MARY Kate Mcneil They’ll lmpeach his miserable orange lard ass, but, not until Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen have sung like a pair of canaries. Which they will. I hope Trumpo is twisting and turning in his sleep and his brain overloads and he strokes out.😂😂😂😂
A great president
