whose reporting did more than most to make it clear that watergate was for more than the simple break-in it first appeared to be. it s worth mentioning now because contrary to the impression people might have today, knowledge about what watergate truly was in size and scope and the threat to democracy it posed did not come all at once all neatly wrapped up in a bow. it was revealed in day by day slices of the truth by bob and carl and so many others. that notion seems just as true tonight, 50 years later, when it comes to the latest assault on democracy. we ve had plenty of revelations almost since the capitol was attacked, so many that it s hard to keep track, and harder still to be surprised or imagine any of it changes what we think we already know. yet this week, the house january 6 committee, even as it tries to bundle up the scandal and tie a bow around it, has also delivered plenty that is new. and today promised more. listen to kmut tee member zoe lofgren today on cnn
