Not sure but I think this was the man I heard interviewed recently. The total corruption of the investigation having biased cronies pretending to be even handed was stunning even for someone like me who lived through the 1970s and the news coverage.

[I have never admired Richard Nixon, and I have always thought he did a lot of long-term damage to the country beyond Watergate itself: wage and price controls, the enhancement of EPA’s often arbitrary power, institutionalized racial quotas in the name of “affirmative action,” arms control agreements that the Soviets were violating before the ink was dry, “detente” that the Soviets manipulated to their advantage]
The most important thing about “Watergate” was that the President who was removed had just gotten >500 electoral votes and >60% of the popular vote.
