Felt was a Hoover loyalist. 100% loyal to J. Edgar. When L. Patrick Gray was brought in, instead of promoting Felt or another agency insider, the gloves came off. That was probably the big motive.

It wasn't about morals. It was a turf war.

Well, While I care about why Felt did what he did and would've liked to have the info about why at the time, I'm glad he did what he did. I can see why Woodstein and the WP kept his identity a secret, though, since his motivation certainly wouldn't have helped their case. Interesting decision that, eh?

What torques me off now is seeing the MSM praise this guy to the skies while at the same time sitting on a motherlode of info on other pols the MSM just happens to like.
