Once this is all done....I'd pay to go see this movie

I just wonder who the Director would be to do this movie some justice?

Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma and Ron Howard come to mind for this genre of crime, suspense and drama

Democracy is not about ratings, or fantasy, imo.

There's nothing wrong with movies like All the President's Men and The Post. If a good movie or miniseries can bring the whole story together at one time, all the better.

Just let's not let Oliver Stone have anything to do with it.

Something that will be sanitized and weakened in most text books. Just 25 years after Nixon, kids still haven't been exposed to the full truths of his administration. All the President's Men, helps a lot with the knowledge.

but I agree, it would be long. A 2 or 3 season netflix series would probably cover it. If it has to cover all the global financial systems, the entire GOP, multi mobster groups, bikers, and gun groups, make it 5 seasons.

ending like he did with "Inferno." It wasn't a little change, either. It was the equivalent of the TV show Dallas where Pam wakes up, sees Bobby, and says, "It was all a dream."
