- 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.
What a collection of scoundrels.
For sure and Trumps collection of scoundrels make these guys look like boyscouts😂😂
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.
"...and that was something to think about."
Martha Mitchell, the 1970s answer to Mary Todd Lincoln. 😄🇮🇪🇺🇲
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 have TH-cam Premium. Why am I seeing an advertisement?
They're commercials from the period.
Commercials from within the documentary itself...interesting tho to see how ads were like then and I can remember
Long distance calls......
Same ole same ole today and tomorrow
I have to think of the house of cards that Trump's involvement in Jan 6 is on.
💯🎯
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"
expletives deleted
Like Trump ...."these are nice people, wonderful people"
I was born in 70! I have zero memory of Watergate or President Nixon! I do remember Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford but not Nixon!
You’re lucky.
Trump is his mirror image now in corruption.
Thanks!!
Mitchell’s wife was an awesome character
She was the 1970s answer to Mary Todd Lincoln.
Nixon had a paranoid personality
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
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.
@@tommym321Good synopsis. He was supposed to have received total immunity for his testimony but eventually received a sentence and served 4 months
john dean became the darling of the left
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 .
