The BBC ran All the President's Men late last night. The difference, of course, between 72/73 and 2025 is that Nixon, his Germans and ex CIA black ops guys did it all in secret and it took relentless journalists and almost as secret whistle blowers and informants to put it all together; Trump and his Plastic Pal (who's no fun to be with) do it all right out in the open.
It's not just his Plastic Pal of course but the whole crew wouldn't have got on Magruder's team they're so dim.
