What were the causes and effects of the Watergate Scandal?
371190
Cause:  Political greed and personal paranoia on behalf of President Nixon, (who has never been credited with ending the Vietnam war, and opening relations with china).\n\nEffect:  Overzealous prosecution for protecting his political friends for lying about a crime that was petty in nature.  It all ended when he was prosecuted by congress, and with dignity, resigned his elected office.

I'll say Collidge, with Teapot Dome. Nixon comes in a close second with Watergate. G. W. Bush is seriously making a move for number one with his completely clueless domestic policy, though. Who's not even in the running? Clinton. Presidents have had extramarital affairs since Washington, and it's only the fact that we're able to shine a brighter light on the presidency that it was brought to light.

We had lots of animosity toward Johnson and Nixon, mainly because of Vietnam.  I remember marching in the streets chanting "Hey Hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?"  But we liked LBJ because of his domestic policies.\n\nOf course, Watergate opened our eyes to how corrupt politics can be.  \n\nBut in my experience, no president has incurred so much ire--from both sides of the political spectrum.

Excellent question.  I believe that corruption has caused Republicans to lose their way.  Now they have to create false realities to get elected because they are not serving the people.

I was originally as surprised by this unexpected announcement last Friday as you were, planksheer. But as one of your subsequent questions indicates, we may have the answer: the "new" Watergate scandal. I think goss was up to his neck in the illegal gambling and prostitution ring that was being operated by these upper level ANP swine and bush threw him over the side as soon as his intelligence people made him aware of the facts -- and especially the consequences. \n\nThat said, bush may well not have been happy with his hand-picked appointee's track record at the agency. Reports suggest goss routinely butted heads with old guard CIA officials who basically refused to cooperate with him (and who can blame them?). Clandestine organizations like that operate best when upper level officials are more or less on the same page and no one is out to make waves or set himself up as potentate, as goss apparently attempted to do. We should know more about all of this as leaks begin spouting (i.e., very soon).\n\nAnd I share your concerns about this new appointee, gen. michael hayden. He is thick as thieves with Dr. Evil (aka dick cheney) and that alone is enough for me to wish him to never make it out of committee. The fact that he headed up the illegal domestic spying program would, in normal times, be enough for him not even to be under consideration. Indeed, he'd likely be fighting his way through court trying to avoid prison time. This country -- or at least the government alleged to represent us -- in its present state is clinically insane.

Well never know.\n\nFrom what I read, people didn't believe Nixon could have known about that watergate thing.

First of all five men — Bernard Barker, Virgilio González, Eugenio Martínez, James W. McCord, Jr., and Frank Sturgis — were discovered and arrested for breaking into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel.\n\nHowever, it was soon discovered that they received their orders from E.Howard Hunt and G Gordon Liddy who work in the White House special investigations unit and were called "plumbers" who were responsible for ordering Watergate.\nand they were soon indicted.\n\nAfter an investigation, one of the seven, probably McCord linked the Watergate incident to the Committee to Reelect the President where the funds for watergate were paid out. This led to the investigation of John Mitchell, the Attorney General, who had headed the CRP. He was indicted along with campaign manager ampaign manager Jeb Stuart Magruder and Fred LaRue as they had approved of Hunt and Libby's sabotage plans. Charles Colson, the President's chief aide was also implicated as he was heavily involved in the CRP.\n\nFurther investigations showed that Watergate led all the way up to the White House as acting FBI Director implicated John Dean the White House Counsel by saying that he had passed FBI files to Dean and his predecessor John Ehrlichman, who was currently the Presdential Advisor on Domestic affairs. Investigations revealed that they were responsible for a massive cover up operation on Watergate. \n\nGordon C Strachan (assistant to Mitchell), Robert Mardian and Kenneth Parkinson (legal aid to the CRP) were also indicted for their involvement with the cover up and together with Mitchell, Colson, Erhlichman and Haldeman made up the famous Watergate Seven that were charged.\n\nProsecutors soon discovered proof that a tape existed containing conversations between Nixon and he was subpoenaed to give them up and refused. That led to a mounting campaign against him with the house and senate threatening to indict the President before the Supreme Court finally forced him to hand over the tapes. That ultimately led to Nixon's resignation.

I'm so sick of staunch conservatives bringing up the Clinton scandal.  Almost every president we've ever had, had mistresses. Apparently there was a time when the media didn't feel the need to air dirty laundry. It is rather comical, however, that the same people lampooning morality and declaring gay marriage a sin often turn out to be a pedifiles and closet homosexuals.
