What was the "Watergate" that lent its name to the 1972 scandal leading to Richard Nixon's resignation?

Makes me nostalgic for the days when a politician could be hounded out of office for wrongdoing.

I miss the days when people had to do more when they did wrong than just offer a tearful, sappy apology to make it all go away. Our standards have become so low that we find a predictable apology written by someone else to be acceptable.

I remember that happening.

Those were the days😜😎😂

I miss the days when criminals were resigning from office. Now they just get reelected and pardon themselves.
