Pretend Watergate happened within the last five years. Can you imagine the public dialogue?

I don't think Watergate would be even in the Top 10 list of scandalous newsworthy events if it happened in the last 6 years. #sad

One party breaking into another party's campaign headquarters? I think it would generate some reaction -- if only for the point-and-scowl value.

True, we saw something similar when Trump withheld $400 million from Ukraine and/or when he was caught asking Ukraine to open investigations against Trump's democratic opponent. Of course this led to Trump's first impeachment with some of the same charges that Nixon was going to face.
