Before Watergate, a break-in was just a crime. After Watergate, it was a constitutional crisis. In this chapter, we go inside the mechanics of how Richard Nixon's presidency began its slow, grinding collapse — starting with a single piece of tape on a door latch at the Democratic National Committee headquarters on June 17, 1972.
Five men entered the Watergate complex that night: Bernard Barker, Virgilio Gonzalez, Frank Sturgis, Eugenio Martinez, and James McCord. They were there to photograph documents and plant surveillance bugs. Security guard Frank Wills noticed the tape, called the police, and with that, the unravelling began.
The arrests revealed a professional surveillance operation — sequential hundred-dollar bills, cameras, lockpicks, thirty-five rolls of film — and one disclosure that changed everything: James McCord had worked for the CIA. At the White House, Nixon's team moved immediately to contain the damage, and the President was already on tape approving the cover-up within days.
While most news organisations treated the story as a local crime, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein at the Washington Post refused to let it go. They traced the burglars' money back to Nixon's re-election committee and built a picture of White House-directed political espionage. Their guide through the maze was a clandestine FBI source — a man met in a Rosslyn parking garage late at night, known to history as Deep Throat, later revealed to be Associate FBI Director Mark Felt.
By 1973, the story had moved from newsprint to Congress. Senate hearings began in May, and a White House counsel named John Dean was about to make a decision that would alter everything.
