Maybe in terms of what was actually there, though Nixon did obstruct justice. No doubt. He ordered the CIA to block the FBI from investigating the break in. Stupid.

John Dean set him up and Dicky walked right into it.

In terms of history, it was a revolution in politics. From that point on, every GOP president would be viewed as illegitimate and subject to an impeachment: Reagan with Iran-Contra, Bush with the SR-71 (didn’t go far cuz he failed so quickly); W over WMDs; Trump. Watergate was a big, big deal historically.

Big in only blowing up a nothingburger by a bunch of partisan leftist hypocrites.

If a Dem President had done exactly what Nixon was alleged to have done, we’d have never heard about it. FDR was bugging his political opponents decades earlier. The media’s hatred of Nixon would not be seen or equaled until Trump. It went back to 1946 when he first defeated the leftist Congressman Jerry Voorhis and only grew from there.
