I remember following that. I was young, but my parents were keeping tabs on it.
At the time, the democrap party was recieving large sums of money from communist Cuba.
If the nation had known, it would have destroyed the democraps. The nation didn't have the political correctness cult nor the commie socialists it has now.
The Republicans knew it, but had to find a way to prove it.
That's what the break in was all about. They needed to warn the American people of the democraps treason, but got caught. They never had the chance to expose the democraps .
I think that you may be confusing Whitewater with Watergate.
