Watergate
The Watergate Complex is a series of modern buildings with balconies that looks like filed down Shark’s Teeth. Located on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. it contains many hotel rooms and offices. What happened in the complex on June 17, 1972 early in the morning became a very historical event for our nation that no one will ever forget. The “Watergate Scandal” and constitutional crisis that began on June 17, 1972 with the arrest of five burglars who broke into the Democratic National Committee (DMC) headquarters at the Watergate office building in Washington D.C. It ended with the registration of President Richard M. Nixon on August 9, 1974 (Watergate). At approximately 2:30 in the morning of June 17, 1972 five men were arrested at the Watergate Complex. The police seized a warlike talkie, 40 rolls of unexposed film, two 35 millimeter cameras, lock picks, pen sized teargas guns, and bugging devices. These five men and two co-plotters were indicated in September 1972 on charges of burglary; conspiracy and wiretapping. Four months later they were convicted and sentenced to prison terms by District Court.
