The President is on the line.
The Watergate Twiter Bot (called This Is Watergate) is a robot tweeting fake White House tapes transcripts. The robot is given a large sample of White House tape transcripts as a corpus of text, and uses that to learn how to "speak" in the same style, generating random chatter.

A Twitter bot is a computer program that automatically generates tweets, and interfaces with Twitter to send out those tweets.

The Watergate Tiwtter bot is a robot that creates and publishes tweets. But the tweets it creates are randomly generated. It learns how to speak by being given a large corpus of dialogue, and constructs new dialogue by repeating and re-using language at the phrase level, instead of the letter- or word-level that is used in a lot of random text generation algorithms (e.g., the Markov model of language). What this allows you to do is generate phony random text with the same "look-and-feel" as the original.
Because the Watergate bot takes unaltered sentences straight from the original dialogue, creating anew by mashing them together in new combinations, it presents a very interesting way to experience the history in those White House tape transcripts, and peek into them in random and often fascinating flashes that might otherwise not see the light of day.
The language the Watergate bot uses is the language of the President and the cronies he had surrounding him.
