"Why should we believe that sticking it to Nixon was the only secret he ever told/sold to outsiders?..."
That's the ticket, right there.
People like Felt scare me. Regardless of how anyone feels about Nixon, Felt is the one who all of the sudden had an "epiphany" of self-righteousness...causing turmoil and division.
What did he hope to gain?
Facts are facts, and history is history. The heresy we hear about Nixon's paranoia, will to power, alcohol abuse, and drug-addicted, dysfunctional family are just that...heresy. There is no proof.
What there is proof of is a rock-solid cabinet, an incredible sense of international diplomacy, and infallible leadership.

What do to about this? Let it go.
Felt served this country admirably for decades in very difficult work. Whether he did the right thing or not in '72, he certainly did the right thing when he authorized break-ins against Weather Underground terrorists. He paid a price for this and was pardoned by President Reagan.
There are much, much more deserving targets.
