What seriousness of Watergate are we talking about? Is this a matter of these people clearly being connected to the administration, but no evidence that Nixon had any knowledge of nor approval of the break-in, and the administration treating them like rogue elements? Or is this 1974 level, where the president is clearly guilty without any plausible deniability? The latter is hard, because it took Congressional investigation over a long period to really get at the truth, but it is interesting. Especially if you couple that with the exposure of Agnew for his acceptance of bribes if you move that up, because you have completely blown up the administration, and allowed for the horrible realization that the hippies were right, which terrified every blue collar, anti-busing Nixon voter into double-down self denial in a deliciously schadenfreude way.
