Mark Felt’s family ends 30 years of speculation, identifying Felt, the former FBI assistant director, as “Deep Throat,” the secret source who helped unravel the Watergate scandal.

“Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer”
Chuckie was definitely right on this one when he warned Trump not to take on the spooks... But maybe it wouldn’t have made any difference since 90% were against Trump to begin with.
Pharoah Tuthmose III thought he could take on someone back in the day and found out he wasn't all he thought he was.
Can you give us an oral review?
