Although he knew the source's identity, Bradlee said, "I've never met Felt. I wouldn't know him if I fell on him."
In a family statement released today, Felt's grandson, Nick Jones, said, "The family believes my grandfather, Mark Felt Sr., is a great American hero who went well above and beyond the call of duty at much risk to himself to save his country from a horrible injustice." The statement added, "We all sincerely hope the country will see him this way as well."
Jones said in the statement, "My grandfather is pleased he is being honored for his role as 'Deep Throat' with his friend Bob Woodward. As he recently told my mother, 'I guess people used to think "Deep Throat" was a criminal, but now they think he was a hero.'"
Felt was the #2 man at the FBI and he didn't know who he was??
Watergate tore apart the nation. It was intended to rupture America's innocence and faith. And put forward a new "savior" - The Democratic Party. I remember it very clearly.
And now? Oh yea, Democrats break laws at will. Or only enforce "laws they agree with". And the MSM aids and abets them.
sounds like won an Oscar! GEEZE
I heard this on the radio today and the end came out almost as a plea.
The family knows on one level many Americans will not see him as a hero at all.
