Think about it. Deap Throats only possible motivation is to take down Richard Nixon. Yet this know it all never told Woodward and Bernstein about the one thing that could bring Nixon down... proof that he was involved in the coverup.
Later we learned that nearly everyone who worked in the White House knew about the taping system. Nixon often asked people in his office to wait while tapes were changed.
If Deep Throat wanted to take down Nixon why didn't he tell Woodward And Bernstein. The existance of the tapes were revealed when an underling tesified before congress and told the congressional committee about the tapes.
The only conclusion was Deep Throat did not know about the tapes. I think Woodward just reported the Washington gosip as fact and claimed they had a source for it.
