A reporter who followed the Watergate Scandal has written this article on why the Comey Affair is worse than the infamous Watergate Scandal, which was characterized by extreme attempts at cover-ups. This more recent event has higher stakes- instead of being an effort to dig up dirt, the potential scandal here concerns interference with the democratic process of voting.
The risk is definitely greater, and the cover-up, if indeed there is something going on, more of an issue.
This synthesizes to the future of the U.S. and how democracy just might completely crumble, or we might all die due to a supervolcano. Fun.
