Watergate looks like child's play compared to Clinton and now Biden. The fact is that republicans abandoned Nixon and that's why he resigned. Can you imagine WAPO having an informant in the Clinton W.H. and having two reporters claiming that the unverified information from an unidentified informant was factual? Can you imagine keeping the identity of an important political informant secret until he freaking died? Nixon was a HUAC prosecutor and one of the WAPO reporters was the son of card carrying communists and no doubt was brought up with an abiding hatred for Nixon. The media kept it secret for political reasons. Imagine if the situation was reversed.
