>Even under that different defining characteristic, the analogue would be the same modern event: the recording that gives lie to the cover-up narrative that he had used his psychic declassification superpowers.

My apologies. I wasn't clear that I was responding to this:

   The defining characteristic of Watergate was the audio tapes, so this has to 
   be a reference to the "Bring some Cokes in, please" recording.

And not at all responding to this:

   There's no way that could be Watergate-squared. 

I don't claim that the former president's legal issues are "Watergate-squared."

While there are some similarities between Watergate and the current situation, specifically a lack of ethics, enormous hubris and that it involves a (former) US President among other things, the cases are quite different and should be treated as such.
