Not an american but I can't take Watergate seriously as a scandal when exactly 1 year after Nixon resigned, the Church Committee confirmed the CIA was carrying out the analog counterpart of modern NSA mass surveillance

on top of that, they revealed the existence of MKultra, Cointelpro, Mockingbird and Family Jewels all at once

>yeah turns out CIA and FBI do in fact manipulate the media, harass and torment both high and low profile targets, kidnap and torture people, test all sorts of drugs on them, perform illegal human experiments (also to mind control their victims), wiretap and spy on everyone they feel like, control multiple KKK-like extremist groups and use them to attack or kill other targets, conduct psychological warfare on activists and minorities, also they set up high profile assassinations on foreign countries, all without any kind of oversight

>but whatever, have you heard the president was secretly listening to his rival? that's crazy bro, biggest scandal ever
absolute joke
