Ah, the self righteous democrats always in a quest for money.

Disgruntled for not getting a promotion Felt turns to squealing. For the good of the country he says.
What about breaking his oath as the second man in the FBI hierarchy.
Such is called a hero these days.
All monies he derives from these his traitorous activities need to be frozen.
His actions did fly right into the face of his oath which he decided, consciously, not to abide by.

On Wednesday, word came that the family of Mr. Felt - the ailing, 91-year-old former No. 2 official of the F.B.I. - had sought payment in vain for his story after failing to reach a collaborative agreement with Mr. Woodward, not only from Vanity Fair, but also from People magazine and HarperCollins Books. They are apparently still determined to claim their share of the story that has helped make Mr. Woodward a millionaire.

J. Todd Foster, managing editor of The News-Virginian of Waynesboro, said that in 2003, after being frustrated in their efforts to persuade Mr. Woodward to cooperate, the Felt family had come to him - about six months after he had approached them on his own hunch that Mr. Felt was Deep Throat - to propose a collaboration. At the time, Mr. Foster was a contributor to People, which he said considered but rejected an article because the Felts wanted payment.

"This was always about the money, and they were very up front with me," he said in a telephone interview.
