How did the Watergate Scandal begin?

Answer 1

You should watch the movie "Dick". It explains it in a lighthearted comical way.

Answer 2

The Watergate scandal began with a botched burglary in June 1972, but subsequent investigations by Congress, the Justice Department, and the news media revealed a much broader network of corruption and criminality. Prior to the burglary, Nixon aides had already placed wiretaps at Democratic National Committee Headquarters at the Watergate office complex. Ultimately, Nixon's closest political aides went to prison: Attorney General and director of the Committee for the Re-election of the President (CRP) John Mitchell; chief of staff H.R. "Bob" Haldeman; top domestic affairs adviser John Ehrlichman; White House counsel John W. Dean III; and White House special counsel Charles W. Colson. CRP engaged in what Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein called "a massive campaign of political spying and sabotage conducted on behalf of President Nixon's re-election." The campaign involved "following members of Democratic candidates' families and assembling dossiers on their personal lives; forging letters and distributing them under the candidates' letterheads; leaking false and manufactured items to the press; throwing campaign schedules into disarray; seizing confidential campaign files; and investigating the lives of dozens of Democratic campaign workers."

Leaders frequently fire corrupt participants of their group, and the two Nixon and Obama have did not try this.)
