Matthews bringing up Nixon as an into to his show on public distrust of politicians.
Compared to Obama’s scandal ridden White House Mafia, Nixon was an innocent victim.
The Deep Throat guy was out of a job and did not have direct access to secrets he was divulging to Bernstein toward the end. So who exactly was Deep Throating Deep Throat? Too bad there were no investigative reporters available to figure that out.
And, of course, the actual outcome of the DNC break-in was that Nixon won 49 states in the 1972 election.

And nobody died as a result of Watergate. Nobody even broke a nail.
