This Day In History, 1972: The Watergate Break-In - Updated

Today is the 46th anniversary of the infamous Watergate break-in. To commemorate, I recently spent a night in the Scandal Room at the Watergate Hotel. It was from this room that E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy directed the burglary at DNC headquarters on June 17, 1972. I will be posting more photos today from my night in the Scandal Room at: @watergatehotel

It took more than two years but we all know what this led to. Will history repeat itself with the current president? I'd say it's not completely out of the question.

Sunday afternoon update: I'll add more pictures as Pete posts them. Here's #2:

To commemorate today’s 46th anniversary of the Watergate break-in, I’m posting images here from the night I spent this week in the Scandal Room at the Watergate Hotel. From this room in 1972, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy directed the five burglars as they broke into the adjacent Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate Office Building. Follow along as I post images from my overnight stay in the Scandal Room.
