from The Gerald Ford Presidential Library & Museum
"After June 17, 1972, the word "Watergate" could no longer be just the name of an office and hotel complex in Washington, D.C. On that date it became a byword for political corruption.
In the early hours of that mid-June morning, and in the middle of a presidential campaign, five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters located in one of the Watergate offices.
The details of this story would form an ever-rising pool of political deceit in which swirled a constitutional crisis that claimed a presidency."
