The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- No one was ever charged for ordering the burglary, and the burglars' accounts conflict.
- The simplest theory is that Watergate was an incompetent break-in to bug Democratic National Committee chair Larry O'Brien, emerging from White House paranoia, and that burglars E. Howard Hunt, G. Gordon Liddy, and James McCord were overzealous and acted without proper oversight.
- According to journalist Garrett Graff, the burglars may have had "two or even three distinct and separate motives" and deceived even each other.
Why it is Common

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 52: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
