Cover-up

When a scandal breaks, the discovery of an attempt to cover up the evidence of wrongdoing is often regarded as even more scandalous than the original deeds.

Typically, a cover-up draws an entire organization, or sometimes only its leadership, into complicity in covering up a crime that may have originally been committed by a few of its members. This is often regarded as tacit approval of that behaviour.

Examples include:

• the Watergate scandal
• the recent Catholic priests' sex abuse scandal

Not one around will fancy I appear That I should out of doors at once be tost; This girl no other bed shall have than mine; Come, Miss, let's to my room at once repair; If scandal 'twould spread around, I'd wreak But I am lenient, and desire no rout; So night and day your company I'll share; For I shall see that you no frolicks play. ON this the trembling girl, o'ercome with fears; Pick'd up her clothes and quickly stole away, And hop'd to act the maid while Sol gave light, At once she fill'd two places in the house, Who bless'd his stars that he'd escap'd so well, While our gay, am'rous pair advantage took, Convinc'd most thoroughly, once lovers kiss'd, Here ends the trick our wily gossip play'd; That only from her lips the truth he'd seek, Contriv'd at ease and her arrangement made. The butler, strong, well dress'd, and full of prate: Stood near when madam hit upon her plot, On which the man prepar'd with ev'ry haste, But while above, the fellow gave a look .
