Join me as we take a deep dive into one of the most infamous political scandals in American history - the Watergate scandal. From the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters to President Nixon's resignation, we'll explore all the details and players involved in this scandal that rocked the nation.

hi, this is mohammad qolami and welcome to my podcast. on the Watergate scandal. today we're going to take a closer look at this infamous political scandal that shook America to its core. So, let's start from the beginning. don't forget to subscribe me.

On June 17th, 1972, five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington D.C. The men were caught wiretapping phones and stealing documents. At first, it seemed like a simple burglary case, but as more information came out, it became clear that there was more to this story than just a break-in.

The burglars were later found to be connected to President Richard Nixon's re-election campaign committee. This led to suspicions that Nixon and his administration were involved in some way.

So, what was Nixon's involvement? Well, it turns out that he had authorized a secret operation called "the plumbers" whose job was to stop leaks of classified information from within his administration. The plumbers were responsible for carrying out illegal activities such as wiretapping and breaking into offices of people they suspected of leaking information.

One of these targets was Daniel Ellsberg, who had leaked classified documents known as the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times. The plumbers broke into Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office looking for dirt on him but found nothing useful.

The Watergate break-in was also part of this larger effort by Nixon's administration to gather information on their political opponents ahead of the 1972 presidential election. The burglars were caught in the act, and the cover-up began.

Nixon and his top advisors tried to cover up their involvement in the break-in by obstructing justice, destroying evidence, and lying to investigators. This led to a series of investigations by Congress and the media that eventually uncovered the truth.

The scandal reached its peak when Nixon's own White House tapes were released, revealing that he had ordered a cover-up of the Watergate break-in. The tapes also showed that Nixon had used his power to try to silence his political opponents and obstruct justice.

In August 1974, facing impeachment and removal from office, Nixon resigned as President of the United States. He was succeeded by Vice President Gerald Ford.

The Watergate scandal had far-reaching consequences for American politics. It led to a loss of trust in government institutions and a greater emphasis on transparency and accountability. It also set a precedent for future investigations into presidential misconduct.

I'm following up the Watergate: Blueprint for a Scandal with @cbstv program Watergate: High Crimes In The White House.

The Nixon I knew was the one who was forgiven and was treated like an elder statesman up to the time of his death. The dichotomy of Nixob is really fascinating.

08/08/1974 - O Presidente norte americano do Partido Republicano Richard Nixon anunciou a renúncia de seu cargo devido a certeza da votação pelo impeachment no Congresso. A renúncia foi o fim de um escândalo que vinha desde Junho de 1972 - ano eleitoral - quando cinco homens foram presos ao invadir o Comitê Nacional do Partido Democrata no Complexo Watergate, em Washington. Imprensa, o Congresso Norte Americano e a Suprema Corte confirmaram as ligações do alto escalão do governo Nixon com o "Escândalo de Watergate" e levaram a queda de seu governo dois anos depois de reeleito. Curiosamente, descobriu-se que o presidente usou o FBI, a CIA e a Receita Federal (IRS) para espionar e vigiar líderes políticos e sociais durante seu governo. #nixon #watergate #watergatescandal #richardnixon #resignation #history #historia #eua #usa #historianoinsta #historiadaamerica #seculoxx #20thcentury https://ift.tt/2vKHSA6

I was looking for something to watch and came across @cnn documentary series Watergate: Blueprint for a Scandal.

Now I was born soon after Watergate happened and I'm sad to say that I'm not too familiar with the events and the players involved with the Watergate scandal outside of Tricky Dick himself President Richard Nixon.

I'm about 15 minutes in and I'm saying out loud to myself: Nixon really tried to get away with this? Its amazing to hear in their own voices the reporters who covered the story, the aides who worked within the Nixon administration and seeing actual footage as opposed to re-enactments.

I'm definitely hooked.
