Imho some of those issues are still secret today.

I think about 90% of the Watergate mystery has been solved. The big breakthrough occurred when Mark Felt, the former deputy FBI director, revealed himself as Bob Woodward's "Deep Throat" source in 2006. Felt gave the findings of the FBI's own internal Watergate investigation to his attorney, John O'Connor, and O'Connor published these findings in 2022.

The CIA had moles in CREEP and the White House.

The two Watergate break-ins were a CIA-led operation funded by G. Gordon Liddy in CREEP. Liddy was an attorney who had nothing to with the CIA, but Howard Hunt, James McCord, and Frank Sturgis, who organized both break-ins, were all with the CIA. Hunt worked undercover in the White House and McCord worked undercover in CREEP. During his sentencing, McCord told the judge he was working for the CIA during the break-in. Also, two of the four Cuban Watergate burglars testified during their trials that they were working for the CIA.

I am convinced that is how the Deep State plays—up to this day.

The purpose of the first Watergate break-in in May 1972 was to bug the phone of Spencer Oliver, who was in charge of DNC "hospitality" operations. The purpose of the second break-in in June 1972 was to tap the phone of Oliver's secretary, but the burglars were caught in the DNC lobby on the sixth floor of the Watergate complex before they began their work.

The CIA did this to build dossiers on DC officials and politicians so that negative information could be used against them in a contingency. Although the wire tap on Spencer's phone was successful, the CIA failed to collect any damaging information for specific individuals. Spencer and his secretary were careful to use code names and client numbers, instead of real names, for all their phone conversations.
