Name one federal law that was broken.
Yup, they broke into private property.
I think you've forgotten the identity of the target ~ to wit, the DNC, the location ~ DC, the actors ~ White House employees.
Although they tried, the special counsel folks didn't begin to plumb the depths of the federal laws that coulda/woulda/shoulda applied.
There were OTHER aspects to the cluster of screwups covered by the term "Watergate". My old buddy Tom Huston made up plans to bust into every Embassy in DC ~ John Dean ran around with cash payments for the purpose of silencing the original Cuban defendants (at Arlington Towers, Madison Building, 7 AM, etc. 7th and 8th floor where they were billeted) ~ and more, much more and DrugFair began selling breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches.
That was a stupid question to ask me. Go find someone else to play with.
Here, I’ll say it this way, just for you......... Watergate was good.
Let's not get too carried away trying to minimize the corruption that was revealed during Watergate.
A campaign donation check to the Committee to Re-Elect the President was, I believe, one of the sources of the funds that were used to finance the burglary. I doubt that redirecting those funds was permissible under federal law at the time, and that redirection came as a surprise to the donor. This was one of the threads that led back to the White House.
Over sixty people were convicted of crimes, many of perjury, involving sworn testimony to federal investigators and Congress. I can't recall any conviction that would have been other than for federal crimes. Even the burglary was in Washington, DC, wasn't it; under federal jurisdiction?
