In 1972, a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters inside the Watergate complex sparked one of the biggest political scandals in American history—the Watergate scandal. The official story says Richard Nixon and his administration orchestrated the burglary and then tried to cover it up, ultimately forcing him to resign.
But what if the story is more complicated?In this episode, we go beyond the break-in to explore the deeper events surrounding Watergate, including the secret bombing campaign Operation Menu, the leak of the Pentagon Papers, and the covert activities of the White House “Plumbers.” We also examine the role of journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, their source Mark Felt, and the surprising intelligence connections surrounding the burglars themselves.Was Watergate simply a botched political espionage operation—or part of a larger power struggle inside Washington?
Follow me down the rabbit hole.
