What was Watergate? A little bugging! Richard M

I was never for Richard Nixon until Watergate.

I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.

It I talked about Watergate, I was described as struggling to free myself from the morass. If I did not talk about Watergate, I was accused of being out of touch with reality.

You must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I'm innocent. You've got to believe I'm innocent. If you don't, take my job.

Watergate had become the center of the media's universe, and during the remaining year of my presidency the media tried to force everything else to revolve around it.
