11. Remember Watergate ?
Sun Feb 8, 2026, 05:13 PM

Quite a few ended up going to jail, and what we have been seeing lately makes Watergate seem like a parking ticket

Dozens of individuals were indicted, and many high-profile Nixon administration officials and campaign aides, including H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, John Mitchell, John Dean, G. Gordon Liddy, and E. Howard Hunt, were convicted and served time in jail for their roles in the Watergate scandal, with roughly 40 government officials facing charges, leading to convictions and imprisonment for obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and related offenses, ultimately culminating in President Nixon's resignation.
