"When The President Does IT, that means it's NOT illegal"...

The 2008 historical drama film based on the play of the same name by Peter Morgan which dramatizes the post-Watergate television interviews of 1977 between British talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon.
Although the reviews for the film were moderate, the actually re-telling of the story was quite accurate.

Scandal Still Scandalous

The Watergate Scandal is still one of the most widely-known events in American History. This is due impart to the seriousness of the event, and also to the media. Many television parodies and spoofs by comedians and other networks mimic the events of Watergate (especially of Mark "deep throat" Felt).

The Man They Called "Deep Throat"

William Mark Felt, Sr. was an agent of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation who retired in 1973 as the Bureau's Associate Director. After denying his involvement with reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein for 30 years, Felt revealed himself on May 31, 2005, to be the Watergate scandal's whistleblower, "Deep Throat. In the summer of 2005, Woodward published his account of his contacts with Felt, The Secret Man: The Story of Watergate's Deep Throat. On December 18, 2008, Felt died in his sleep at a hospice care facility in Santa Rosa, CaliforniaHe was 95 years old.

On June 16, 1972, a security guard at the Watergate Hotel in Washington , D.C., discovered a piece of tape on the lock of the door that led to the National Democratic Headquarters.
This foiled break-in attempt at the Watergate scandal was part of a larger campaign by Nixon supporters to tarnish the reputation of Democratic candidates and the Democratic Party.
As soon as the attempted break-in at Watergate Hotel scandal became know, president Richard Nixon ordered the entire affair covered up. It became clear that the Nixon presidency had been involved in serious manipulation and abuses of power for years. Millions of dollars coming from Nixon supporters were used to pay for the cover-up in an attempt to hide the truth from Congress and the American people.
