... during the election. But the cases are not really comparable.

The grand jury for the burglars was a simple break-in story. The coverup did not fail until Judge Sirica put his foot down.

Sirica's involvement in the case began when he presided over the trial of the Watergate burglars. He did not believe the claim that they had acted alone, and persuaded or coerced most of them to implicate the men who had arranged the break-in (G. Gordon Liddy remained silent). For his role in Watergate the judge was named TIME magazine's Man of the Year in 1973.
