Again, I am going on old memory, but IIRC, the watergate burglary was attempted because they thought the democrat national campaign was guilty of treason and they were trying to catch them red handed, (no pun intended).
Of course they were probably trying to catch them for political purposes rather than national security.

Trying to catch Democrats in treason, like criticizing Democrats caught red-handed in treason, is the worst sin of all in the eyes of the mainstream media.
No, actually, there is one worse sin. Trying to undermine the spread of communism in Latin America is probably the worst crime.
