Watergate was a scam too. The 'crime' was two young volunteer campaign staffers bugging the phone the dnc campaign office used to call up hookers and other goodies. They were stupid and got caught and when Nixon was told about it he basically laughed and had it covered up. Not the most honest thing to do but it got leaked to the press and they turned it from a story of two bungling kids trying to catch the opposition ordering up some hookers and booze into this arch criminal conspiracy to subvert the constitution and destroy our democracy with Nixon as its nefarious leader. Nixon didn't see it coming and he reacted badly again and that just put blood in the water for his enemies on both sides which their unending media blitz coverage eventually led to his resignation. Sound familiar?
It wasn't even a crime then. They were pushing for impeachment over his firing of the ag over his bungling of the entire situation but the media spun it as political revenge and public opinion tanked so he resigned. Nixon did nothing wrong.
