They are saying Mark Felt doesn't make sense because he could have arrested anyone he wanted instead of telling Bob Woodward. In fact, they are saying he obstructed justice by not doing so.
No no...the family wants us to think he's a hero. Didnt you get the memo.
I do not believe this to be true. Felt is not Deep Throat.
The problem is that Felt had a boss to answer to, and that boss was Nixon's former AG at the time (while Felt thought the post should have been his).
Had he made arrests, he's have lost his job.
