Watergate scandal

Watergate was a major political scandal that occurred in the United States in the 1970s, following a break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. and President Richard Nixon's administration's attempted cover-up of its involvement. When the conspiracy was discovered and investigated by the U.S. Congress, the Nixon administration's resistance to its probes led to a constitutional crisis.

The term Watergate has come to encompass an array of clandestine and often illegal activities undertaken by members of the Nixon administration. Those activities included such "dirty tricks" as bugging the offices of political opponents and people of whom Nixon or his officials were suspicious. Nixon and his close aides ordered harassment of activist groups and political figures, using the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The scandal led to the discovery of multiple abuses of power by the Nixon administration, articles of impeachment, and the resignation of Nixon as President of the United States in August 1974. The scandal also resulted in the indictment of 69 people, with trials or pleas resulting in 25 being found guilty and incarcerated, many of whom were Nixon's top administration officials.

    watergate
    scenery twisted
    as i slip off the back of the rock
    that's so hard to hold on to
    and what a day you left me
    you went through the back door
    you knew there was no hope
    and i wish you were back there
    to see what's going on
    and i wish you could be here
    to see what's going on
    watergate
    serious twist it
    as i stab at the back weave of thread
    form fabric of existence
    and what a way
    you let be
    you went through the black door
    and i wish you were back there
    to see what's going on
    and i wish you could be here
    to see what's going on
