"He named people in specific acts of participation in a criminal conspiracy essentially to destroy the free electoral system we have in this country to spy and sabotage on the Democrats."
Nixon denied involvement. "People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook, well, I'm not a crook."
Hollywood dramatized Watergate in a film version of Woodward and Bernstein's book All the President's Men.
"Just follow the money."
That source known as Deep Throat revealed himself more than 30 years later as a top FBI official Mark Felt.
"At one point Mark Felt told me that the stakes were so high in Watergate. He believed there was wiretapping and lives could be in danger."
Decades after Mr. Nixon's departure, the Watergate Complex remains - ever a reminder of America's most consequential political scandal in the role of a free press.伍德沃德近期在华盛顿新闻博物馆谈到这项调查。
“他指派手下进行窃听等阴谋活动,其本质是要破坏我们国家现有的自由选举体系,从而达到监视和破坏民主党的目的。”
尼克松否认自己参与其中。“民众应该知道他们的总统到底是不是个骗子,我不是。”
好莱坞将伍德沃德和伯恩斯坦的书《总统班底》搬上了银幕,在电影中戏剧性的呈现了水门事件。
“一切向钱看。”
马克•费尔特以联调局高层的身份为人所知,而直到三十多年后他的代号“深喉”才浮出水面。
“当时马克•费尔特跟我说水门事件里水很深。他笃定有人窃听,还有人会被灭口。”
尼克松下台后几十年的今天,水门大厦依旧矗立——作为标榜新闻自由的美国最为意义重大的政治丑闻让人铭记。
