    Well, yeah. Roger Ailes was Nixon’s main media advisor, and the lesson he learned from Watergate was that Nixon would have gotten away with it if the media were more sympathetic.

    Years later, he was hired by Rupert Murdoch to run Fox News.

    It’s true, the non stop ridiculous abuses and coverups of the Trump administration far eclipse what happened in Watergate. However, the only reason they get away with it is because Congress and the Supreme Court are in it with them.
