Some have drawn parallels between Obamagate and the [[Watergate]] scandal of the 1970s; the [[FISA court]]s were created as a post-Watergate reform. Had the Watergate burglers been granted outside contractor access to the FISA database, it would make a closer comparison. In Watergate, [[Nixon]] turned to outside contractors, the [[Plumbers unit]], after the FBI refused Nixon's request to spy on political opponents; in Obamagate the FBI [[collude]]d with outside contractors, [[FusionGPS]], to spy on Obama and DNC opponents. In Watergate, the CIA declined Nixon's request to help cover up the crime by decieving FBI investigators; in Obamagate, the CIA director masterminded the crime in collusion with the FBI and Department of Justice.
