  • In the summer of 1994, the Discovery Channel aired a five-part series about the Watergate scandal, co-produced with the BBC. Episode 3, "Scapegoat," details how Nixon administration aides and officials were indicted or forced to resign to protect the President's role in the coverup in the Watergate burglary on June 17, 1972.

    I was a kid when this happened and it was a big topic of discussion on the news and in our house for what seemed like forever! The 70s were so tumultuous!

    Jen Magruder appearing on screen in his reverend suit is just perfect. Like that gives him some kind of redemption; he’s the same liar he’s always been.

    Wonderful to hear Dan Schorr's voice again. I've tried to find video of his being handed Nixon's enemies list and as he reads down discovering his name on it. The approach to Watergate used here, to have the insiders interviewed is riveting and and highly informative.

    The car in which Dick rode to his second coronation was the same one in which President Kennedy had been murdered, modified with a permanent armored top.

    I would like to use profanities to describe what I think about the character of all of those people involved. But I guess it is not permitted ...... "nice people"

    Dean changed his look and brought his “TROPHY”platinum blonde Wife to the “show”. As i was watching this live , that was the first thing I noticed, he was pulling out all the stops.

    Watched blind ambition about dean just a couple days ago. It's paints him as getting caught up in this. Nah

    • @tommym321

      Dean was a young guy at the time, he was a junior person in the administration (even though he was “the president’s lawyer “ the reality is that in regular times, he had no direct access to president and reported to ehrlichman) and he was in over his head. He kept hoping the grownups in the room would do the right thing and come forward. You can certainly argue that he should have sounded the whistle, immediately, but I think it’s a bit too easy to make that claim from the comfort of your couch. Again, I think it’s clear that he just felt in over his head and didn’t know WHAT do do other than follow orders from his bosses (and let’s please not make any Nazi arguments here; I understand it’s wrong to follow an illegal order) He eventually did come forward and he told The whole truth, even on things that made himself look bad.

      His wife was the darling , that platinum blonde bombshell gave him BIG brownie points, as I remember the camera man gave her “LOTS” of time .
