60. I turned 15 in Spring 1973, and I followed the Watergate Story
with intense interest. Yes, some things never change. My Republican parents chastised me horribly for devoting so much time to Watergate, and today I'm in trouble with my family for spending time here!:silly:

It is my recollection that the MSM basically assumed the story was over after G. Gordon Liddy, E. Howard Hunt, James McCord, and 4 other co-conspirators were convicted in January, 1973. Yeah right: some Republican renegades had "gone overboard" much like a college prank, and no higher ups were involved. But the MSM bought it.

The major unraveling began after James McCord went public with conspiracy claims in March 1973 with a letter to Judge John Sirica, who presided over the trial. Everything snowballed from there.

We aren't at the that point yet in ElectionGate, but we are close. We need either (1) the Ohio recount to demonstrate the fraudulent activity, or (2) at least one of the co-conspirators to come forward with iron-clad evidence.
