Watergate scandal burst in 1972, when burglars broke into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C., which was cover-up by Nixon and his administration.
Only after two years Nixon caved and resigned in the summer of 1974.
The story broke only when Washington Post reporters #Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward revealed the details. Now, amid President Trump is dealing with his own scandals Carl Bernstein is speaking out:
The most dangerous ‘enemy of the people’ is presidential lying–always. Attacks on press by @realDonaldTrump more treacherous than Nixon’s.

Real news (not fake) is that @realDonaldTrump trying to make conduct of press the issue instead of egregious (and unhinged)conduct of POTUS.
