Just in on ABC News. He and his family admit it through his lawyer. Will be in upcoming Vanity Fair.
Who am I kidding? This CRIMINAL is being hailed as a saint.
If anyone has any doubt of the damage Felt enabled, needs to read Ben Stein's article below:

Re: The "news" that former FBI agent Mark Felt broke the law, broke his code of ethics, broke his oath and was the main source for Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's articles that helped depose Richard Nixon, a few thoughts.
Can anyone even remember now what Nixon did that was so terrible? He ended the war in Vietnam, brought home the POW's, ended the war in the Mideast, opened relations with China, started the first nuclear weapons reduction treaty, saved Eretz Israel's life, started the Environmental Protection Administration. Does anyone remember what he did that was bad?
Oh, now I remember. He lied. He was a politician who lied. How remarkable. He lied to protect his subordinates who were covering up a ridiculous burglary that no one to this date has any clue about its purpose. He lied so he could stay in office and keep his agenda of peace going. That was his crime. He was a peacemaker and he wanted to make a world where there was a generation of peace. And he succeeded.
That is his legacy. He was a peacemaker. He was a lying, conniving, covering up peacemaker. He was not a lying, conniving drug addict like JFK, a lying, conniving war starter like LBJ, a lying conniving seducer like Clinton -- a lying conniving peacemaker. That is Nixon's kharma.
When his enemies brought him down, and they had been laying for him since he proved that Alger Hiss was a traitor, since Alger Hiss was their fair-haired boy, this is what they bought for themselves in the Kharma Supermarket that is life:
1.) The defeat of the South Vietnamese government with decades of death and hardship for the people of Vietnam.
2.) The assumption of power in Cambodia by the bloodiest government of all time, the Khmer Rouge, who killed a third of their own people, often by making children beat their own parents to death. No one doubts RN would never have let this happen.
So, this is the great boast of the enemies of Richard Nixon, including Mark Felt: they made the conditions necessary for the Cambodian genocide. If there is such a thing as kharma, if there is such a thing as justice in this life of the next, Mark Felt has bought himself the worst future of any man on this earth. And Bob Woodward is right behind him, with Ben Bradlee bringing up the rear. Out of their smug arrogance and contempt, they hatched the worst nightmare imaginable: genocide. I hope they are happy now -- because their future looks pretty bleak to me.

One of the players, Pat Buchanan just made this statement recently.
And his motive, as Mr. Woodward indicated, is Mark Felt was passed over. When Hoover died, Nixon gave the eulogy, and we put L. Patrick Gray, who was very close to the president, who as assistant secretary at Justice or assistant attorney general—put him in charge. And the FBI fellows who were senior fellows that served under Hoover, had run the place since the ‘20s, were very bitter.
Thanks for that post. My views precisely.
You are welcome.
The libs may be very sorry this is coming out.
The ABC hourly pseudo news during Rush and afterwards had nothing about Felt on the last two hour breaks.
Subject: Moral Bankruptcy At ABC
Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2005 17:53:45 -0400
From: I.M. Trenchant
To: niteline@abc.com
The Nightline piece on W. Mark Felt set a new baseline for baseness. Koppel is given a pulpit from which to express his views, which are usually sanctimonious if nothing else. His 'essay' on W. Mark Felt should give the ABC News Department serious reservations about sustaining this pathetic moral bankrupt in such a potentially influential position.
Koppel's view of Mark Felt implies that he had no responsibility to behave according to his sworn federal oaths. Nixon paid the price for his sins, but Felt has not, and to imply, as Koppel did, that Felt should not, is an affront to the justice system. Felt had an abundance of avenues by which he could have expressed himself publicly -- none of which included the perfidious route he chose.
Because Koppel does not seem to have any serious understanding of law, morality or ethics, he should be obliged to read, and submit to rote-memory, the Ben Stein piece in the American Spectator, which I copy below because I doubt that Koppel has the wit to be able to find his way to the article unaided. Here it is:
[PASTED THE BEN STEIN ARTICLE]
Nightline ought to, in fairness to those who may have bought into Koppel's absurd defence of W. Mark Felt, invite Ben Stein to appear on Nightline, or better still, combine the best of Letterman and a topical program on daily events, by inviting Stein to replace Koppel as host of Nightline.
Such a blatant effort to influence public opinion -- in order to produce a poll that O'Connor hopes will show that the U.S. public approves of Felt's activities (God help the U.S.A.) -- is the worst form of programming abuse since Hitler gave Goebbels his free rein in Nazi Germany.
Good for you.
What color was the dead Weasel on Koppel's head.
What a worthless leftwing POS, Koppel is. I thought that ABC was dropping his program since no one watched it.
Michael Savage on the air now saying Felt and his family (as co-conspirators) should be indicted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Mark Felt is a criminal and should have his pension taken as a consequence.
This is one of the biggest differences between the Nixon impeachment and the Clinton impeachment. In the Clinton impeachment, there was never any doubt about who Deep Throat was.
Cindy Adams in the New York Post predicted back in February Felt would be outed soon.
Felt was always the No. 1 candidate and Erlichmann knew it was him all the time.
Exactly. They were used to further Felt's agenda. But the media treated them like great investigative reporters. One of them was so handsome he had to be portrayed by Robert Redford!!!!
There was a story in the NY Post today that Felt quit smoking in the 1940s.
