This podcast discusses the significance of four important aspects of the Watergate scandal in the 1970s that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, and it considers the relevance of that history to politics in our times.
First, the podcast deals with the controversy regarding President Gerald Ford’s decision to pardon Richard Nixon. Secondly, it examines the Nixon administration’s efforts to interfere in the 1972 election campaign and shape its outcome. Thirdly, it discusses the “Enemies List” that Nixon and his aides created, and it shows how the list threatened democracy. In the fourth section, the podcast notes that it took bipartisan pressure to compel Nixon’s resignation. Republicans, not just Democrats, contributed to resolution of the crisis.
