Deep Throat Also Leaked Information In Agnew's Case Fmr. Md. Governor, Vice President Resigned After Tax Evasion Conviction

POSTED: 2:01 pm EDT June 2, 2005

BALTIMORE -- The former FBI official who revealed himself this week as Deep Throat apparently also leaked information to The Washington Post about two of the biggest stories in Maryland in the 1970s.

Post reporter Bob Woodward wrote in Thursday's paper that Mark Felt told him in the spring of 1972 during the Watergate investigation that the FBI had some information that Vice President Spiro Agnew had received a $2,500 bribe.

The tip produced no story, but Agnew resigned in 1973 upon his conviction for income-tax evasion. A Maryland judge found in 1981 that Agnew had accepted kickbacks as Maryland governor.

Woodward also said Felt was his source for a 1972 story about the investigation into the wounding of Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace in Laurel. Woodward cited "high federal officials" as saying there was no indication that suspect Arthur Bremer had been hired to shoot Wallace.

George Beall, the former U.S. attorney who prosecuted both Agnew and Bremer, said the leaks didn't hurt either case. He said the reported bribe to Agnew wasn't substantiated, and the Bremer story eased concerns about a possible conspiracy.

Beall said he's not surprised that Felt was the source of the leaks, since his high-ranking position at the FBI made him privy to virtually all the information the agency collected.

So basically, this guy Felt is nothing more than a petty criminal, right? It is amazing to see the MSM slobber over him. Professional Lawmen, at least those with a modicum of integrity, dont leak anything to the press. You should have heard the two liberal twits at work celebrating his "outing"...

Spiro Agnew anagram = Grow a spine

You seem to forget that liberals are above the law. Anything goes as long as it furthers the agenda of the left. Only the right must play by the rules.

I really am sick and tired of how lying, cheating, and stealing has become a chique status.

Time to do something about Berger.

I knew Beamer didn't do it... No middle name. All the good assassins have three names.

Time to do something about Berger.

Too late, he has already gotten away with it. He pled to losing his clearance for 3 years and a fine. An "R" or a govt employee who have pled out to 5 years..

I wonder if he shared anything with the Russians. Seems like a loose cannon living in his own world of self importance. Messiah complex perhaps?

W. Mark Felt came to Washington DC as an aide to Idaho Senator James Pope, an avid FDR "new-dealer" in the 1930s who promoted farm subsidies, government work programs, and attacked the defense industry. He was obviously a Democrat hack. So it's no surprise that Felt leaked FBI secrets obtained in investigations about a Republican Vice President and members of the Nixon administration.

The Wallace shooting by Bremer left the DemocRAT party open to socialist takeover by McGovernites. George Wallace, whose segregationist policies were idiotic (but he was not a socialist), would have won the '72 Dem. nomination if Bremer hadn't shot him. Felt leaking about that investigation makes you wonder if there wasn't more to the shooting in Laurel, MD than meets the eye.

Rush was AWESOME today in discussing this Felt issue.

[TommyDale]

Hmmm...considering Agnew's connection to underworld crime syndicates, this guy is asking for a quick demise.

[RightWhale]

Aha. A history is beginning to emerge. Who is leaking this stuff? Even Deeper Throat?

[goodnesswins]

Sheesh.....you think he could at least tell us who killed JFK....(The REAL one.)

"George Wallace, whose segregationist policies were idiotic (but he was not a socialist), would have won the '72 Dem. nomination if Bremer hadn't shot him. Felt leaking about that investigation makes you wonder if there wasn't more to the shooting in Laurel, MD than meets the eye."

At the very least it shows that the corrupt Felt was involved in the matter at some level.
