I was a Watergate prosecutor. Here's what JD Vance missed.

6. "...to have them call the FBI to halt the investigation into the break-in..."

As convoluted as Watergate is with all the crooked arrogant players, this is what everyone should know first. That was the obstruction.

And Vance is right in saying that Watergate would be a "blip" in the media today, but because he's the creepy minion to a man who has gone way beyond Nixon's excesses.

- He's called off investigations into corrupt cronies (Homan). No one is copping to the fact that it was instructed by trump, but who else would have done it without presidential approval?

- He's been using national security as an excuse for several of his corrupt schemes including the possibly illegal destruction of the East Room.

- He's fired people involved with having investigated him in any way.

A lot of people knock the credibility of Wikipedia, but descriptions in the OP track part of Wikipedia's description of Watergate events identically (I was there brushing up on it a few days ago).
