Watergate provides a model case study of the interaction and powers of each of the branches of government. It also is a morality play with a sad and dramatic ending.

The legislator learns that when you talk a lot, you get in trouble. You have to listen a lot to make deals.

I think there are people out there who just kind of say, let's repot the plant. Let's give somebody else a chance. And it's not just anger or disappointment in their lives, it's the sense of, let's shake this up. And no one is shaking it up as much as Trump.

When you see how the President makes political or policy decisions, you see who he is. The essence of the Presidency is decision-making.

I believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.

It would seem that the Watergate story from beginning to end could be used as a primer on the American political system.

Because of Watergate in part, I am kind of a magnet for calls and information and suggestions.
