Yall have been watching too much damn teevee. No one gets a single clue that brings everything down and everything doesnt get wrapped up neatly at the end of the hour like in a police drama on some crappy network.

Report of the break in: 6/18/1972
Nixon Resigns: 8/9/1974
PS Woodward and Bernstein continued to uncover stuff into 1976.
