Answer:

Can you say, Wire Tapping for Nixon!

Step-by-step explanation:

Watergate was a hotel near the White House.

As there were some sleazy dealings going on and Nixon was behind all of it.

On March 1, 1974, a grand jury in Washington, D.C., indicted several former aides of Nixon, who became known as the "Watergate Seven"—H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, John N. Mitchell, Charles Colson, Gordon C. Strachan, Robert Mardian, and Kenneth Parkinson—for conspiring to hinder the Watergate investigation.

The Committee for the Re-election of the President (also known as the Committee to Re-elect the President), abbreviated CRP, but often mocked by the acronym CREEP, was, officially, a fundraising organization of United States President Richard Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign during the Watergate scandal.

Deep Throat is the pseudonym given to the secret informant who provided information in 1972 to Bob Woodward, who shared it with Carl Bernstein.

He (Nixon) was Impeached, he left the presidency in shame and disgrace what is interesting was that Nixon was supposed to be President instead of John Kennedy but His dad pulled strings to get him elected after his brother Joe Kennedy was Killed in Action.

(DeepThroat was a shady person who had a lot of information about everything, but they never found out who that was.)

This was on TV every night, it was a big deal and the president was saying he was" not lying "and he was and got caught.

The original Watergate Seven and their legal dispositions were: G. Gordon Liddy — former FBI agent and general counsel for the Committee to Re-elect the President; convicted of burglary, conspiracy, and wiretapping; sentenced to 6 years and 8 months in prison; served 4½ years in prison.
