Noted in “Rudy Giuliani was once compared to Churchill. Now he acts like a shady Watergate goon.” Karen Tumulty, WaPo:

Maybe an attack on Biden’s family could even trigger a Muskie-like reaction from the candidate, even though the polls indicate Biden is currently on track to beat an incumbent president, possibly by a big margin. The question now is whether Americans are any smarter at spotting what election interference looks like than they were in 2016.
Frankly, yes, I think a substantial portion of the electorate has wised up. Donald Segretti, mentioned above, was Nixon’s dirty tricks operative.
