Of course Nixon was framed. It is the same Deep State that is in control today, March 2 2025. When I see real news about JFK, RFK, MLK and Nixon, I will beleive they have been vanquished. How about reopen the investigation into 9/11? This time interview actual pilots and ask them if THEY could pilot a Jumbo Jet in the manner the “hijackers” did.

“My conclusion was that Nixon was forced from office”
Many hold the same conclusion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
https://www.watergate.com/ I would urge all to read “Silent Coup: The Removal of a President” by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin (1992). At this great website, there is a tape of Colodny interviewing Woodward and exposing him for the liar that he is.

Haig was Deep Throat,

Wrong. Mark Felt, assistant FBI director was Deep Throat. Not that Haig wouldn’t have been if it had helped his pitiful career.

Bernstein is even worse. He is an utterly WORTHLESS POS.

So how did the the #2 guy at FBI know what was going on inside the WH? Did the FBI have Nixon's WH bugged, or maybe the info that got to Woodward from inside the WH came from Haig, who might have used someone else like Felt as his messenger?

“Legendary hollywood actor” that’s pushing the standard lower.

Yes, Bill Murray qualifies as "legendary Hollywood actor" in every definition of the term.

You mean fly it into a building? Hell, I could do that. I could not land it safely but hitting a building as big as the World Trade Center or the Pentagon, that would be pretty easy.

My favorites are the clueless reporters writing about guns “The gun had a full clip of bullets,” or “Police collected bullets off the sidewalk that were ejected by the shooters gun.” They have no clue what a cartridge is.

Because he had a hundred FBI agents sending him their reports every day. Felt was Deep Throat. You don’t have to sell me on the fact that Haig was a despicable creep. I acknowledge that fact. But he was not Deep Throat. He would have gladly been if there was something in it for him.

For Felt on the other hand it was strictly a matter of revenge. Felt thought he should have been promoted to the Directors job after Hoover died. Instead, Nixon bypassed Felt and hired a new director from outside the Agency. Felt was pissed and got even.

We’d have to really dig down into the details to find out what “Deep Throat” told Woodward/Bernstein and what Felt was in a position to know.

Here’s a place to start, maybe:

You accept that DT was really one person as Woodward stated. (Bernstein did not meet with him.) I don't completely accept that. The relationship between Woodward and Haig is well documented, AND they lied about it. Woodward was Haig's briefing officer at the WH. Woodward got stories leaked from the WH. Connect the dots. Felt could have leaked stories about FBI investigations, but he wasn't the source for internal matters at the WH.

Felt did exactly what McCabe, Strozk etc did to Trump with the stupid russia thing. Selectively leaked to give the appearance of a sinister crime. There was zero evidence that Nixon did ANY of the things the media claimed. Drove his poll numbers down, mid-terms were coming up and they forced him out. He resigned mainly because of his health.

Felt doesn't match the description from Woodstein in their book. They characterized Deep Throat as a "source in the Executive Branch who had access to information at CRP [The Committee to Re-Elect the President] as well as at the White House" All The President’s Men (p. 71) That's not Felt, even if he was leaking too.

John Dean concluded that Haig was DT:
Dean said that since he first declared Haig was Deep Throat, reaction from many people supports his contention.
'I've heard reports from people who know Al Haig very well, that they say, 'Yeah, that works.' I've heard reaction from the Reagan White House. They say, 'Boy, that sure fits.' I've got reaction from people at The Washington Post, 'Finally, somebody said it.''

Despite Alexander Haig's denials, John Dean said Thursday he still believes Haig is Watergate's 'Deep Throat.'

1907’s? I think they meant the early 70’s.
= = =

Well, 1907 is very, very early ‘70’s.
