I was in college by then. Just starting to wake up, in full, about this stuff. We were all glued to the TV, and this was all that many of us were talking about.

You make a VERY good point, though, Nitram. This is not just dirty tricks and trying to screw political opponents. This involves a HOSTILE FOREIGN POWER, getting involved, deliberately and in a calculated way, intervening from OUTSIDE the system and OUTSIDE our country.

No Russians had any involvement in Watergate. Nobody from any other country did. There were NO external influences or involvements. It was all internal to US politics, and the US government. Not so here. Not at all. External meddling and intervention and intrusion into our election is not just relevant here, it's freakin' EVERYTHING here!
