Watergate
The lie that cost the presidency. A' bhreug a sgrios a' phrìomhaireachd.
A' bhreug Ameireaganach a bu mhotha san fhicheadamh linn. Rinn Richard Nixon gach oidhirp airson a bhith cinnteach gun deidheadh a thaghadh a-rithist air an 7mh dhen t-Samhain: a' sgrùdadh a' Phà rtaidh Dheamocratach, a' farchluais, a' goid aithisgean, 's a' cleachdadh dubh-ionmhas. Chaidh sgioba de 50 fhastadh san Taigh Gheal airson sgrios a dhèanamh air na dùbhlanaich agus airson an taghadh fhiaradh. Breugan a' phrìomhaire, mì-ghnà thachadh structar an riaghaltais... Nochd an fhìrinn beag air bheag, gus an do leig e dheth a dhreuchd san Lùnastail, 1974. An sgainneal a b' ainmeil riamh mu choirbeachd aig an ìre a b' à irde san dùthaich a bu chumhachdaich air thalamh, breug a thug air prìomhaire Ameireaganach seasamh sìos.
The greatest American lie of the 20th century. Richard Nixon spared no effort to ensure his re-election on the 7th November: spying on his opponents from the Democratic party, wiretapping, stealing documents, using slush funds. A team of 50 people were recruited from within the White House to bring down the opposite camp and rig the election through presidential lies and misuse of the government structure. The truth slowly came to light, right up to Nixon's resignation in August 1974. This is the story of the most famous scandal involving corruption at the highest level of the leading world power, the lie that forced an American president to resign.
