June 17, 1972 –
Perhaps the former President might be interested in the following – Five men broke into the Democratic Party National Committee headquarters at the Watergate building in Washington, DC on this date. They had hoped to bug the offices but were arrested before they could release any insects.
President Richard Nixon would later describe the incident as a “third rate burglary.” Their arrests ultimately led to President Nixon’s resignation in 1974.
(Nixon’s resignation prior to 1974 was attributed to simple melancholia.)
