Nixon Renominated, Report Buried, Explained：bury the report
Woodward and Bernstein have spent two weeks crossing names off a list, and Rosenfeld tells them what they already suspect: nobody is talking. Then the bad news lands. "They're gonna bury the report till after the renomination," and the indictment will stop at the burglars, so "that's the end of your story."
あらすじ
In the Post newsroom, Woodward and Bernstein read names off the CREEP employee list late into the night and realize someone is coaching the people they call. Rosenfeld tells them two weeks of work has led nowhere, then delivers the real blow: the GAO report is delayed until after Nixon's renomination, and the coming indictment will stop at the burglars. The convention then renominates Nixon.

What's really going on
The scene is a lesson in how a story dies without being denied. Nobody tells the reporters they are wrong; the ground is simply moved under them. The people on the list have stopped talking, and Woodward and Bernstein notice that the silence itself is careful: "And it's the way they're not talking that's unnatural." Rosenfeld's question, "Two weeks work, half the names crossed off and what have you got?", is not cruelty but arithmetic. The decisive lines arrive as news from elsewhere: the GAO report is pushed back, and the indictment is expected to stop at the burglars. "And that's the end of your story." On television the renomination goes ahead as scripted, crowd and all. The reporting has not failed; the timing has been taken away from it, and the film lets the ceremony answer the newsroom.
Theme
PowerA phone call from Stans delays a federal report and the indictment stops at the burglars, showing how the White House controls timing.
SecretsThe people with answers go quiet in an unnaturally uniform way, and the reporters can feel a coordinated wall going up.

Two weeks work, half the names crossed off and what have you got?Rosenfeld sums up the investigation's cost: effort spent and almost nothing to show, a question about results rather than effort.
People aren't talking, Harry.The reporters explain the stall: sources have gone silent, which is itself the story they are chasing.
They're gonna bury the report till after the renomination.The GAO report is being held back for political timing, so the paper loses the moment it was counting on.
And that's the end of your story.The indictment stopping at the burglars would close the case publicly and leave the Post's larger case unsupported.
このシーンについての質問
Why is the GAO report postponed?
Stans called with supposed new information and asked that it not be republished without it, which pushes the report past Nixon's renomination and takes the story's timing away.
What does the indictment stopping at the burglars mean for the Post?
It means the official case ends with the men arrested at the Watergate, leaving the paper's larger claims about the campaign unproven, as Rosenfeld warns.
Why do the reporters think the silence is strange?
People are not just refusing to talk; they are giving pat, prepared answers, which makes the reporters suspect someone is coaching them.
Does the renomination broadcast connect to the reporting?
It runs as staged, with the crowd chanting for four more years, while the newsroom has just been told its story is effectively dead.
