• Sé que la resurrección es un hecho, y Watergate me lo demostró. ¿Por qué? Porque 12 hombres testificaron que habían visto a Jesús resucitado de entre los muertos, y luego proclamaron esa verdad durante 40 años, sin negarla ni una sola vez. Todos fueron golpeados, torturados, apedreados y encarcelados. No lo habrían soportado si no fuera verdad. Watergate envolvió a 12 de los hombres más poderosos del mundo, y no pudieron mantener una mentira durante tres semanas. ¿Me estás diciendo que 12 apóstoles podrían mantener una mentira durante 40 años? Absolutamente imposible.

• I think the media has become incredibly corrupt. We used to have a profound tradition of investigative journalism in the United States. Some journalists were real heroes, such as Bob Woodward who helped uncover the Watergate scandal. But today he is leading the opposite charge, trying to bring down the careers of people and score easy victories. In other words, those who used to bust the status quo have now become the status quo.

• Almost no one under 60 remembers what fundraising was like before Watergate. Until the 1970s, campaign money was collected by "bagmen," familiar characters from the world of organized crime. As fans of Boardwalk Empire know, a bagman is a political fixer who walked around with stacks of $100 and $1,000 bills. At lower levels, he used brown paper bags. In presidential campaigns, the cash was more likely to be in briefcases. Classier that way.

• This time, we're living in such a crazy moment in history. People still write and talk about Watergate, which was such a huge, looming backdrop when I was coming of age and when I was a kid growing up. I think we're living in one of those times right now where, in 20 years, people will be writing and talking about it.
