The specter of Watergate has loomed large over Washington, D.C. recently — great timing for a television series looking at the scandal. Bridge of Spies writer Matt Charman has partnered with George Clooney and Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures partner Grant Heslov for Watergate, an eight-part limited series. We hear that the project has landed at Netflix for development in a competitive situation.

Well now I see that Clooney is going to do an 8 part series on Watergate. Article does not say if he is playing a part. I am sure he wants to play Robert Redford's old role from the 1974 "All the President's Men" as Bob Woodward.
To be sure this will be more about President Trump than Nixon and the MSM will cover it so.
Amazing. The Lying Left never gives up.
How much corruption have the Leftist Presidents perpetrated since Watergate? How much of that corruption is portrayed in its true light by the corrupt Leftist entertainment regime?
Time to replace Leftist entertainment regime with a new, godly, America-loving entertainment regime.
Yes, and when it came to corruption, electoral fraud, identification and intimidation of threats and enemies, and overall dirty tricks, LBJ and FDR would make Nixon look like a choirboy by comparison. And of course, young Hillary basically got fired from the Nixon investigation due to her antics that foreshadowed what she did years later in the same White House.
A really good honest series on Lyndon Johnson would be in order. He was probably the most Corrupt politician and President this country ever had. Yet too many look upon him as some sort of Saint.
They just have to keep at it....sadly, there are so many young people with malleable brains that are being fed a steady diet of this world view
Watergate would have been just a slow week’s worth of corruption and abuse of power for the Clintons, but the left covers that up.
Hope Netflix looses tons of money on this stinker.
Every demonrat since has used and improved Box 13.
It’s incredible how minuscule Watergate seems now compared to FBI gate.
It will only remind people how trivial that event was compared to what we are experiencing now.
I contend that, with what we know now, the Obama Administration is the most corrupt administration, at least since the end of WWII.
Nixon and his Watergate team were mere amateurs in the corruption game when you stack them up against what we know now about The IRS (Lois Lerner targeting conservative groups), DOJ (Holder, Peter Stzrok, Comey, Loretta Lynch), State Dept. (Hillary Clinton), the White House (Obama) and others such as Susan Rice “Benghazi was a result of a youtube video” and illegal unmasking of US citizens (Rice, Samantha Power).
It was a veritable mafia running the country for eight years.
What next, Clooney? Why not an exposé of how Macy’s raises prices to lower them before the sale??
Watergate is NOTHING compared to Clinton Obama Deepstate scandals.
Obama (not even a US citzen) beats LBJ I think. I think Herbert Bush would have to as well, though not all of his egregious acts took place during his own presidency.
Funny and not to change the subject. The wife keeps telling me a purchase she wants to make is (20-30-40% off etc). I tell her the original price is probably more than 400% profit. Those sales bring an objects price from grand larceny to just regular larceny.
Will this production point out that this the only time in Hillary’s career that she was held accountable for her actions?
Remember Slick comes from a family with strong Dixie Mafia ties. The Dixie Mafia in many ways much smarter the other mafias, they stay very diffuse, under the radar screen, located where there are few independent law enforcement resources & numbers (Easier to subvert!) and very very violent! Have been for a long time!
Watergate. . . a Sunday School picnic compared to the left’s deviant practices.
Al Franken’s box 13 provided the supermajority vote that passed Obamacare.
Stolen elections have consequences.
