We began to look at the Watergate Crisis today. During Nixon's 2nd term, what seemed like a small scandal turned into a presidential crisis. The scandal began with the president's reelection campaign. In June, 1972, his reelection committee wanted information about about the Democrats' campaign plans. Members of the Nixon campaign ordered "plumbers" to break into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee to install telephone listening devices & bugs. This break-in would set events in motion that would rock the presidency and the nation. Uncovering the cover up is complicated and we will look at from a prospective that lays out the people, places, times ad crimes committed during this unprecedented time in presidential history.
