Woodward was a former naval intelligence office who reported to Alexander Haig. Haig was Deep Throat, or the principal informant Woodward identified by that name. It wasn’t the senile FBI guy later admitted to be the source, although he could have been leaking as well. My conclusion was that Nixon was forced from office to open the path to George H.W. Bush to ascend in the Republican Party. Woodward was part of that, and continued to carry water for the Bushes throughout his career.
“senile FBI guy” = Mark Felt.
“My conclusion was that Nixon was forced from office”
Many hold he same conclusion.
Didn’t Woodward come out with a very negative book or report on bush?
George H.W. Bush, CIA Director (January 30, 1976–January 20, 1977)
Wrong. Mark Felt, assistant FBI director was Deep Throat. Not that Haig wouldn’t have been if it had helped his pitiful career.
I always thought it was David Gergen
