This assignment will be very educational for me as I know very few details about watergate except for the basics. My prior knowledge of watergate is that it was a political scandal which eventually lead to the resignation of President Richard Nixon due to the fact that his administration attempted to cover it up. I was aware that it was in fact two young journalists that unearthed the watergate scandal and it is a prime example why investigative journalism is so important. What I didn’t know is that the watergate hotel was where the DNC called home in the 1970’s. That many politicians lived and worked in the watergate. That the break in was done by “plummers” like Howard Hunt who worked to stop political leaks, canceled democratic rallies,
