There have been as many investigative reporters on this newspaper working on Clinton's many problems as I can remember there were working on Watergate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I suspect there have been a number of conspiracies that never were described or leaked out. But I suspect none of the magnitude and sweep of Watergate.
The great thing about Watergate is, is that the system worked. The American system worked. The press did its job. We did what we were supposed to do.
The big moment for me was making 'All the President's Men'. It was not about Watergate or President Nixon. I wanted to focus on something I thought not many people knew about: How do journalists get the story?
The fact of the Watergate cover-up is not nearly as interesting as the step into making the cover-up. And when you understand the step, you understand that Richard Nixon lied. That he was a criminal.
I must be out of it, but I don't know any good journalists who have excused Clinton's problems.
This story, I predict, will grow to be worse than Watergate. The American people need to have the answers.
It would seem that the Watergate story from beginning to end could be used as a primer on the American political system.
Watergate had become the center of the media's universe, and during the remaining year of my presidency the media tried to force everything else to revolve around it.
An attempt is already underway to revise history - to leave the impression that the former president had nothing to do with Watergate. But there is no doubt about his obstruction of justice after the Watergate break-in.
The institution of the presidency was profoundly affected by Watergate.
